I never really followed the story closely as it unfolded. From what i've read so far it seems blindingly obvious that the license shouldn't have been given back. Am I missing something that made certain councilors vote for the license to be reinstated?
I can see why some of you might be annoyed or have a dislike for gondola, the way he writes is probably interpreted as quite aggressive because it's somewhat intellectual, however I don't think he means it to come across that way.
I shall watch this unfold with interest, hopefully somebody can explain anything im missing.
