Chico debates: Is impeaching Bush good use of City Council's time?
Detroit did it. Then Santa Rosa did it. Huntington Beach said no. San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Arcata all said yes. Berkeley's aye vote, natch, was unanimous.

"They need to be held accountable whether they have one more day in office or two more years," said Marla Crites, who presented 1,000 signatures to the council to trigger the vote.
