How Do the Rules Work?

Recently Laurie Cole was asked at a Town Council meeting:

"Mrs. Cole, you brought up the idea of natural wood...As you're sitting up here tonight — all seven of you — how do you determine whether or not natural wood is more appropriate versus painted green or painted red? How do you determine one is better than the other, one is more appropriate, one is more historic? How is that determined?"

Town Council members were instructed not to answer by the Town Attorney. Why did he do this? Three cheers for open and honest government! Does it make any sense that this Town Council can't legislatively fix their laws? Why do they need to waste tax dollars to defend lawsuits on laws they already know are broken? Why not just fix the problem?
