Menlo Park: Commission can't assemble quorum to consider eight-story biotech building

Drew Combs is currently serving as Chair, but he is conflicted because he works for Facebook. Combs should step aside when his term is up on April 30, 2018. There is too much development going on at and near Facebook property. Larry Kahle will bean excellent Chair, and Andrew Barnes should be the new Vice Chair.

It's interesting that three Planning Commissioners had to recuse themselves but @conflicted only criticized Combs.
Could it be because Combs is a viable candidate for City Council in 2018? Combs is a good man and hasn't done anything deserving to be singled out for criticism. He recuses himself when he needs to. There is nothing wrong with that.
