City Council's "symbolic move" on Research Bureau report

There has been some worrying on this website about the latest Research Bureau budget report which, among other things, recommends severe cuts to WCCA's funding.

So readers may want to note that, according to Worcester Magazine, the City Council did not show the report much respect this week:

Very symbolic move here.

The Research Bureau report that has been panned by councilors in the past week was scheduled to be sent to Finance Committee just now; immediately, three councilors shouted out “FILE” when it came up.

It’s the circular file vote, the equivalent of ignoring an incoming call or blocking an IM: It means the report won’t be discussed at all, and is buried.
