Nothing is puzzling about her opposition. She is staunchly anti-development and is a total wingnut. Why the people of her district continue to elect the likes of her and her mentor, Kommissar Epstein, baffles me.

Watts have proven herself to be a clone, or perhaps more accurately, a puppet, of Howard Epstein and supports every HT position put forward to date. She is on the wrong side of just about every big issue, while championing such ridiculous items as urban chickens and bans on bottled water.
I understand the vote had only 2 councillors opposed. I presume that one was Watts. Any idea who the other was? Harvey perhaps?

I find it shocking that they put him on an airplane and contributed to greenhouse gases by flying him here. Why didn't they hook him to a videoconference setup from Texas, since that is what they were claiming was going to make a convention center like this obsolete? Could it be that their claim of that, like everything else they have put forward, was false?
