Representatives of the Yakima police union were no-shows at Tuesday’s City Council meeting, robbing the otherwise mundane proceedings of any suspense.
The union’s lawyer had said representatives would attend the meeting to complain personally about an alleged threatening remark made by police Chief Sam Granato.
With the complaint the subject of a behind-closed-doors executive session before the meeting got under way, union officials apparently realized they didn’t need to go.
For sure they’ve got Mayor Cefus' attention...
