Then I got an email from a reader raising holy hell, saying there was a lot more going on than what had been reported so far in the Star.<BR/>Thanks to AI for being ahead of the game and IBJ editor Tom Harton for writing on the comprehensive plan in the current IBJ.<BR/>I agree -- this story deserves a good ride and digging wherever it can get it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1155568977126854002006-08-14T10:22:00.000-05:002006-08-14T10:22:00.000-05:00Go McAna, Go McAna, it's your birthday, it's your birthday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1155561266478661292006-08-14T08:14:00.000-05:002006-08-14T08:14:00.000-05:00Ruth was, and is, a good writer. She dug up the info on this, and probably isn't finished.<BR/><BR/>The hearing this week needs citizens to show up. But it will breeze through the Commission. The next step would be a hearing before the full Council to confirm or deny the Commission's recommendation. But here's the rub:<BR/><BR/>Any member of the Council can call up such a case for full council vote. But typically, this Gang of 29 only follows through if the district councillor in question calls it up. That's Mr. Abdullah, who indicated he knew nothing of the whole Polin Park issue.<BR/><BR/>(Isn't is amazing how few people knew about this supposedly Black Yup mingling bar? Especially people in the black power structure, who ought to have known.)<BR/><BR/>After the Commission hearing, dial up and e-mail Mr. Abdullah. <BR/><BR/>An e-mail to the rest of the council wouldn't hurt. Especially the four at-large members, who include...trumpet blast here: Majority Leader Conley. He should recuse himself, but he hasn't in the past, when asked to rule on his wife's goofy decisions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1155560514980427652006-08-14T08:01:00.000-05:002006-08-14T08:01:00.000-05:00u dun expect people to erad the whole thing rite?nemesisXinfinitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09196171672545334998noreply@blogger.com
