more than to never see a certain person's name on any deed in the entire city. The only thing worse than an idiot is an idiot with money.

Be that as it may, they do make a very valid point regarding the impact of that vote on the entire program. Politics is nothing more than sport and when someone jukes so bad it leaves you with your shorts around your ankles, you should just tip your hat and tell them it was nicely played.

First off, the City has been very...selective...about who gets the fix or flatten treatment.

And then abolishing the program over one vote? Please.

Tough to say progress wasn't made on the Paper Box building when progress was made, even though it may not have suited some.

Surely, the City doesn't have an ulterior motive here...

I agree on all accounts. They need to step up and admit when they are wrong. I don't think any of them intended their vote to be a referendum on the whole fix or flatten program but it looks like in this case John and Chuck (probably corp council) out flanked them.

Fix or flatten has been a good tool in keeping our city from becoming Hannibal

Let's hope that a few brave council members bring up the Fix-or-Flatten/Paper-Box issue for reconsideration. Their action last week was short-sighted, ill-considered and, in the long run, detrimental for the city.
