Janet Fahs gets Another Response to her Query
Tim Stegeman, Councilman, answers Janet Fah's question too.....
Janet, in my opinion it is better to have more work completed on this
proposal. I think it is better to have a public hearing on items that are relatively ready to pass. Otherwise we end up with many hearings at greater costs. Also, I think Council's past action in regards to the PSD speaks volumes as far as using tax funds for marketing. I suppose there is no hurt in that group trying again, especially when it is possible by state law, but, I am still under the impression that the majority is not in favor even if this isn't a direct tax to the business such as the PSD orginally proposed. I would also imagine that some of Council is still concerned with the action of the DDA regarding banners.
What ordinance will the Council have to change next to pacify the
actions of the DDA?

Keep the discussion coming!
