The Council vote was 8-0, not one member of the Council is an Armenian. I'm a 1st generation Italian American and have written 3 columns on the subject. One of the Councilors that worked tirelessly behind the seens is Mark Sideris to resolve the matter is a 1st generation Greek American. And the Council President is an African American. So this was Watertown at its best. Watertown is a town of 4 square miles. We wrote the book on diversity before diversity was in the book. We did it not knowing that diversity would ever be an issue. We did it with out the help of Kumbay Commissars, Social Engineers or Federal Mandates. We just settled here and learned how to get along.
