  It has come to this.
  “A shared set of facts is paramount for any discussion of the issues facing Huntington Beach,” a very frustrated City Councilmember Dan Kalmick wrote. “Being that this Council struggles to find common ground on even the most basic of issues, I believe that it has come time for this Council to reaffirm that water is indeed wet and that the sky is blue.”
