Mayor Ede1cup said he feels we need a <br />workshop because we are dealing in moral issues and ethical terms that don't have clear <br />definitions and the reason he is suggesting a workshop is because of the Sunshine Law we all <br />need to get our input in together in some public forum otherwise we are going to be at the <br />same place we are at today a month from now.
