Laptops, Again?!

I know we have discussed this in the past, but why did the Laptops for Councilmen issue rear its ugly head during Thursday's broadcast of the OVCC meeting?

It's still a bad idea for the city to spend money on something that can be used to come back and bite the city in the butt. (see previous post on why this is a bad idea)

It's an especially bad idea, considering two other Councilmen mentioned revenues shrinking in the moments after this idea.

I'm all for electronic modes of communication, but why should the city be buying these computers for part-time councilmen? We pay them $500 bucks a month. Maybe Jonesy and Company should spend some of that pay and buy them for themselves.
