Forward from azrkb---
Recently I sent a very neutral, non-inflammatory request for information to each member of the Glendale City Council. It asked what thought processes they followed in voting for or against any Glendale ordinance on the prohibition of guns in city buildings. I asked ten questions, having to do with "was there any outside influence"; "what did you expect to accomplish with the ordinance", etc., and signed it in a neutral manner without my RKBA taglines. From the mayor and two councilmembers, I received replies to the effect that my letter had been forwarded to the City Attorney and Police Chief. In each case, I replied with the question: "Why? I asked for your thoughts, not theirs. Do they do your thinking for you?"
Today I received a reply from the City Attorney. Here is is for your consideration.

Mr. Cline:
Because of threats of litigation from various persons over this issue, I ave advised the Mayor and Council that it best not to respond directly to any questions about this issue and to allow all questions to be responded to through this office, their attorneys.
Your initial inquiry stated you wanted to obtain some insight into the legislative process by the Mayor and Council. If you have another topic which is not the subject of actual or potential litigation, we can accommodate your quest for knowledge. I do applaud your civic interest. However, I hope you can appreciate the sensitivity of those issues which, for one reason or another, appear to be headed to a judicial conclusion. If your inquiry was specifically about the firearm issue, and not just a general quest for information about the legislative process, please let me know what information I can provide you and I will make my best attempt to respond.
If I can be of any assistance, please feel free to contact me at 623-930-2930.
Rick Flaaen Glendale City Attorney

Why? I didn't ask for his thoughts during the process. I asked for yours.
