    I hope I can make it to this one. I have a lot of questions to pose regarding the future development of the area. All interested parties should attend.

  2. Idea says:

    One interested party that should show up is the alderman himself. If nothing else but to thank the city for finally doing something in his ward.

  3. Jason says:

    @idea,
    Tony Lefuente, Ward four alderman, is quite active in the Ward.
    He, is infact the driving force behind anything being done in Ward four by the city. (Oddly enough the Mayor is a resident of Ward four).

    You should reach out to Tony, if you have any questions or kudos to pass along.

  4. Idea says:

    @Jason:: How much did he pay you to write that? He has been the rep for years and NOW something is being done for the ward…after years of empty stores what the hell does he have to show for it?? A goddamn minute clinic and the city spearheading events on broadway. Probably tough trying to rep the place when your trying to sell your house taking advantage of a housing boom and high assessed values you blame the mayor for. Keep drinking the kool-aid.

  5. Genie Geronimo says:

    Generally speaking, anybody who includes “keep drinking the cool aid” in a comment is likely to be a crack pot.

  6. A Moore says:

    The only time I heard back or from Tony at all was when he was running. Since in office after trying to reach him for a problem and no call back or replies I then go to Bill White who gets back to me usually the same day. I don’t think Bill needs the extra burden.
