(CM) The article mentions that SchaferRichardson is in "talks with city officials". I may be guessing here, but what the heck. It's either the MCDA, Mayors office or CP Ostrow's office. Start paying attention people. If you want the subsidy gravy train to end, get in the loop on this adventure RIGHT NOW. Keep asking questions of the buyers, city, ADM, reporters etc. Go to the meetings, ask to see the documents. See if this deal has transparency or if the taxpayer involved deal is hidden from public view. Or maybe the public involvement will be left to the bare minimum. Such as water, curb, gutters and boring stuff. Wouldn't it be nice? Craig Miller Former Fultonite [EMAIL PROTECTED] TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Send all posts in plain-text format. 2.
