If I am reading it correctly, it appears that several, but not all, of the buildings on Magnolia between Sunnyside and Wilson are excluded from the TIF area. It looks like just north of Sunnyside and just south of Wilson are in, but stuff in between is out. Why would that be? Is there a more accurate listing, perhaps by address?<br /><br />Not that it matters as the ramifications of this TIF will spread far and wide.Aronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05000120528455513774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-69676423822908420392009-08-24T15:53:07.276-05:002009-08-24T15:53:07.276-05:00Someone, somehow, should find out who the person w...Someone, somehow, should find out who the person was that managed this mailing. <br /><br />That person should be reprimanded.<br /><br />I'm being kind.I'mWatchingToohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560548840164594719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-36902533406992127262009-08-24T15:48:34.659-05:002009-08-24T15:48:34.659-05:00Time to alert the media of the waste.Time to alert the media of the waste.EYE IN THE SKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15092431939702582893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-78776788185911379252009-08-24T14:37:22.677-05:002009-08-24T14:37:22.677-05:00In the box pictured: 53 envelopes.
