Really strong coverage on the fee-waiver procedural issue. The timing of distributing a revised policy right before Council discussion basicaly eliminated meaningful public input, and that's a governance red flag even if the revision fixed the legal concerns. I've covered municipal meetings in smaller towns where last-minute document swaps like that become the norm, and it errodes trust fast. The fiscal sponsorship exclusion still feels arbitrary given Anna Stump's rationale.
