It's a slam dunk triumph for the city's attorney. <BR/><BR/>If it was a new attorney on the case just getting to know the case, I could see their reluctance to push until he/she was more comfortable with the case history and parties. Obviously that's not the case here.<BR/><BR/>SadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-64881240294355282972008-01-09T18:31:00.000-05:002008-01-09T18:31:00.000-05:00I've dealt with her, Gary.

She is a staff attorney in the corporation counsel's office who can only do what her superiors direct her to do. She and past city attorneys have been ably representing the City in this matter. If Mr. Cotterill, the Corporation Counsel, had directed her to ask the Court to hold Pinnacle in ccntempt and impose fines against them, she would have done it.Gary R.

So was Kofi.<BR/><BR/>These signs need to come down--yesterday. Tell Phil Nicely to kiss the city's butt.<BR/><BR/>And give me some time to get a camera for that smooch-eroo. He's had it coming for years. He's a smarmy overconfident (for no apparent reason) zoning attorney who's walked all over neighborhoods and remonstrators for years.<BR/><BR/>Ballard can win a LOT of new neighborhood friends if he takes an aggressive stance on this case. McANA and its member associations are watching. <BR/><BR/>Pick up the phone, Greg, and tell the Corp Counsel to push this fast. Keele is obviously getting tired of the delays. It makes him look kinda silly, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-92192374525078693522008-01-09T17:16:00.000-05:002008-01-09T17:16:00.000-05:00Tera Kendrick is still the corporation counsel attorney of record.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-89973655201789579912008-01-09T16:59:00.000-05:002008-01-09T16:59:00.000-05:00The signs (some at least) have actually been blank for some time.<BR/><BR/>Anyone know who appeared in court for the city?

The really tall sign at the north split is blank. Both sides have nothing on them at all. I believe this was one of the signs in question.
