CAT TOSSING FROWNED ON IN VALLEJO, CA

by Bob Walsh

Vallejo is a nice little city. It was the state capitol of California for a few days before the Civil War. (As was Benecia, another nice little town.)

Chris Palzer is, for the moment, the City Planning Commissioner. He was the moderator at a commission meeting on April 20th, which was discussing a Costco project. The meeting was recorded and is available for public viewing. He was asked for a comment. He stated, "Well, first I'd like to introduce my cat." (The cat could be heard making cat noises in the background. I am guessing Paizer was broadcasting from his home.) He lifted the cat up in front of the camera, then threw it. The cat could be heard thudding against something. He was also swilling beer from a bottle, was I guess is declasse for Vallejo. They can be pretentious there.

Paizer has since sent an email to the Vallejo Times-Herald informing them that he had resigned. However, upon checking with the city, their HR people have no knowledge of any such resignation.

I can see people getting pissed about puppy throwing, but a cat.............
