Preserve Our Paradise Chair Russ Colombo takes a question from an audience member at a City Council candidate debate sponsored by POP in November. The debate, which hosted a packed house at Mackle Park, was the first of the political campaign. Colombo said the political action committee was dissolved, in part, because of his belief that the current council will uphold the same policies as the last, in effect thwarting any effort undertaken by POP.
