Editor,

I disagree with columnist Mark Simon about how the Brown Act constrains elected officials getting together outside of an agendized meeting. Pardon me for perhaps being overly sensitive to both the wording and the spirit of the law.

For this round in the Mark vs. Mark bout, I’m giving the edge to Mr. Simon; Mr. Olbert is on the defensive. I wonder if I need to restock my popcorn supply in case there’s a second round. Are these two Mark's vying for the same seat somewhere?

I don't know Terence... do you think these salvos are just a tempest in a teapot?

Ray, definitely a tempest in a teapot, but these days, the Mark vs. Mark show is more popcorn-worthy than the movies coming out from virtue signaling Hollywood – and this show is free.
