"At our Council meeting on Thursday, I will be introducing an amendment to the proposed UMBT LERTA extension. This idea was initially suggested by a participant during public comment and letter to the editor. I think it's a reasonable compromise. It would maintain the tax breaks on the old power plant properties which truly can be considered "deteriorated" without incentivizing the greenfield portion of the development.
"Hopefully I can get a second for discussion and a vote."
You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
This is a good suggestion. I would add a clause prohibiting warehouses in the RPL area. If Pektor is telling the truth he won’t object . Cusick knows how to govern. I’m a Democrat and he has my vote in the fall.
ReplyDeleteIs this a political gambit for this Fall? Everything he writes will now be the magma Carta and everything he says will be the Gettysburg address, since you love the guy.
ReplyDeleteIf Zarinski were political smart she would add the no warehouse amendment
ReplyDeleteIf professional protesting was a full-time job. UMBT would have zero unemployment.
