I just glanced at the article but if I lived there I'd be ready to repeal the COIT ASAP.
Not to be forgotten this city is the only strong supporter of the multi $bil West Shore extension because of course it's not good enough to run shuttle buses to the South Shore station.
No I was joking Mirage
The funny thing is, at a city council meeting recently, some people from Flint Lake were again bitching about the flooding problem and Costas told them the city just does not have the money to fix the issue, yet they have $70,000+ to put in flowers at the roundabout as a city match for a grant. What bullshit
The city only cares about the TIF districts now, if you do not live in a TIF district, the city does not care about you at all anymore.
I used to like Costas and although I think he is doing a great job, his attitude towards anyone outside of one of the numerous TIF districts is appalling.
Hell the city even said that they do not have the money to fix a rail road crossing that has been getting complaints for over 3 years now and to bill the railroad either. The city would rather send letter after letter afeter letter to the railroad instead of fixing it and billing the railroad like they legally can do, but they have no money to do that, because the crossing is not in a TIF district
