Godfrey dismissed the possibility that the council may take legal steps or other action to force him to follow the policies.
"It's done," he told the Standard-Examiner. "It's over."

Garcia said the council will be able to better determine whether Godfrey is following the policies after the first of the year when Ogden-Weber Community Action Partnership, which is managing the Marshall White Community Center, possibly begins leasing the facility from the city.

Ogden vetoes heading to court?

Mainly for the sake of archival consistency, we'll briefly focus on this morning's Scott Schwebke writeup, wherein various local political pundits speculate on what will be the next development in the 2010 FY budget veto override story:
• Ogden vetoes heading to court?Distilling it all down, we'll say we believe Councilman Garcia and Mayor Godfrey are both exactly right. Any legal action on the city council's part at this point would be premature, under the legal doctrine of "ripeness," inasmuch as Godfrey has demonstrated no actual lawless conduct yet, which could be deemed to be violative of the council's policy statements.
Whether this situation will end up in court is something that only time will tell. Hopefully Boss Godfrey has reflected upon his earlier provocative threats to engage in acts of civil disobedience. We'll be keeping our fingers crossed that cooler heads will ultimately prevail.
You're on, O Gentle Ones.
