They could first discuss this matter and vote on it before it goes to the City's Zoning Committee. With the absence of such a committee, there's so much room for backroom deals and pay-to-play politics.<br /><br />In time, I believe it will become the standard practice in all wards rather than just a few to have such a committee. With the growing anger against incumbents, perhaps sooner rather than later.James Capplemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14344512821272018828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-26311019298902319962009-06-03T20:59:24.403-05:002009-06-03T20:59:24.403-05:00All I can say is the I agree with you 100% and it ...All I can say is the I agree with you 100% and it could not be written better.

Look at the amount of effort our Alderman has put into the “show” regarding her responding to the community. She attended a community meeting made statements that she would support the community, they after enough time had passed she attempts to push through what I am sure she told the developer she would always do “when things calmed down.” This has happened so many times I have lost count. I am certain 46th ward staff will be told to not discuss the issue with anyone who calls or stops by, and if pushed will discuss the new support for this plan. Same “overwhelming” amount of people who wanted the Labor Ready site rezoned I suppose. <br /><br />If only she could put half the effort into working with the police on the violent crime in the ward. But in the end I guess that does not pay as well judging by the amount of money her campaign fund was given by this developer. Helen I have so little respect for you it is difficult for me to even put it into words in this post. I wish I could do it in person but you refuse to talk about these backroom decisions in public. 46th ward staff since you read this blog regularly, please pass on my disgust!Uptown Vegetarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16070889236511581451noreply@blogger.com
