What worries me is that folks call for Lewis' and the current UCD's overthrow - changing "the mission, board and director of the UCD" - and point to opposition to the NID/BID to justify Lewis' removal. The current flap was not about a NID or BID; it was a complex personnel issue within the UCD. I don't want to see the UCD destroyed to be sure that there will be no BID. PA BID law requires notification and the opportunity to oppose, by all who would be assessed, once a BID is introduced in City Council. A BID cannot come into being without that democratic process. There's no need to kill the UCD, to be sure of avoiding the BID. And there's no need to force Lewis Wendell out for doing his job.
