Quote History Quoted:
I've always assumed that every city counsel is horrible, and full of busy-bodies who can't keep from trying to force everyone to do what they say.

Pretty much this. You did miss 'self-important'.
Several years ago I attended a city council meeting and one of them got on his high horse and went on and on about what he had done for everybody.
I stood up and told him the guy that ran the city dump did more for the city than he does because at least he gets off his ass and helps unload our pickups.
It got a standing ovation.
He then threatened to have the CLEO run me out of town.
I told him to go ahead and pointed out that everyone in the room would be a witness when I sued him.
Another ovation.
The next day a cop bought me a beer. He said the department didn't like him much, either.
