I actually coughed up fidty cents to buy this edition of the 'Bune, suckered as I was by the banner story.
The story itself re-inforced two things I already realize: a) I am dumber than hell, because these financial numbers and ping-pong jim-jams are never explained clearly enough for me to understand. b) again, the 'Bune appears to know little more than I do.
However, in order to avoid a fidty cent squadering I re-acquainted myself with a 'Bune edition. The main impression (ghastly) I got was that two thirds of the 'editorial page' was wantonly given over to (granted 'local') politico's ... to his ex-honor Lee Hamilton... and to Bill Coc-- oops I can't spell out what we used to call him. The other one-third was a syndicated piece by some unkempt guy who seems to be trying his best to be a liberal. (I concede any of these three would have been fair game for the op-ed page.)
That was it: the whole page. Amount of locally generated or "editorially" controlled copy -- zip-poo-dee-doo-dah. Shameful!
I'm guilty of having a souvenir green eye-shade stuffed somewhere in a box in one of my closets... but Holy Episode III, Batman, the ONE thing a newspaper doesn't ever do is give up its editorial page, at least not in absolute to-to.
The council will vote for the project. a 5-4 vote is where it stands now and that is counting Kochert as a no vote and I think he will vote for it---the problem is there are many different versions of scribner place and the council wants a final plan before they will appropriate the money garner just wants them to approve funding and then go on from there--I side with the council on this one
