A council member's unrequited request for public hearing with Antioch neighborhoods affected by Mayor's fairgrounds plan

Did the Mayor respond to a request for public feedback on the move of the fairgrounds expo to an Antioch mall?

Perhaps Hizzoner was too busy having a rare broadcast media interview in his office to try to scare up (literally) support for the move by uttering the "t" word. Didn't Karl Dean promise during his election campaign said he would not raise taxes? Now he is saying he will if his fairground privatization scheme does not go through.
