Taxpayers who are more inclined to care about large tax breaks (PILOTS) to non-residents are working at 9:30am on Wednesdays.
ReplyDeleteMike Tucker... why can't you schedule these at 7pm on a Tue or Wed?

What would a fixed civic calendar that cuts waste, widens participation, and restores a productive republic in miniature actually look like?

No more Pilots. Pay the tax as calculated like the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteWe need yet another hotel?
If the proposed hotel at 6th & Union comes to be, the parking and traffic issues in that area just might be worse than the parking and traffic issues now surrounding the Pocketbook Factory. But not by much. Actually, no, it couldn't possibly get any worse than the Pocketbook situation. Galvan's hotel at 4th & Warren, however, might take the cake!
ReplyDeleteIf there are two or more hotels added to the city, will prices for rooms come down for all of them?
