Thanks for passing this along, Carol. This is good and much needed
reporting on the issue. Nice job, TC Daily Planet for picking up the
story in a way others news sources have not.
I'm relieved to know Councilor Gordon is finally expressing clear
skepticism on the project. Hopefully they'll kill this thing in March.
Then we can start a new discussion about uses for the site, less
biased by people with clear conflicts of interest.
