It was most prudent to settle an un-winable case. Thanx to those who did what they had to do on behalf of the City. I am sure it was no joy. My faded memory recalls Sandra Hillary, my CM at the time, getting us in up to our ears in potential Kondidator noise. Then Joe Biernat show boating with City money, to fight an un-winable fight. Perhaps he hoped he could get the DFL Machine to fix the court outcome? Concurrently, he was allowing Graco to despoil the opposite river edge with a HUGE and unsightly industrial expansion on the Eastern shore at West Bro. If anybody else has proper info on shoreline stuff; bring it on. Keith Reitman NearNorth TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Send all posts in plain-text format. 2.
