It's a huge mess... I thought there was supposed to be another emergency city council meeting to vote again? I "heard" through KNVB's sources (
) that the mayor of PG says they weren't voted in to be morality police and that the whole issue of cancelling the event was due to a single council member grand-standing... the plethora of emails complaining that was talked about in the media amounted to about 30. Then again, the mayor said the city already had 2 million dollars invested in the event
