This is one area where Pasadena went wrong - and they set down this path a good year ago. This wasn't a surprise, unfortunately, that this is where they ended up. We live in a state where we have a community to look to (San Diego) who wrote an amazing ordinance years ago that is currently at the Supreme Court level. It continues to amaze me that other cities don't look to this ordinance, as it is written, as a model. Since none of the ordinances come anywhere close to San Diego's, each of these cities writing them (like Pasadena) immediately fall under the scrutiny that they must be in bed with telecom. Let's hope Glendale gets it right. I, for one, have hope. We have good leadership here.
