CeeSaw's in the news again as Redevelopment defies the CM's weighty IRS tome.

Rumor has it that one proposal for Bicentennial Park calls for unsold Crutchfield coffee table dust catchers to be adaptively reused as mod paving stones.

Meanwhile, the affordable seniors project involving the long dormant Reisz building -- you remember, the one Bob Caesar defeated by doing a dramatic council rain dance with an Internal Revenue tax concordance held aloft to catch rays of Mitt Romney's abstinent light -- made preliminary sense to Redevelopment, although without the presence of dual council/commission members who dashed away lest they learn something, and now can be expected to solemnly swear that they were cruelly the information they missed by leaving before the second act.

Will there be bird feeder at the Emperor Caesar's Park? Can we stand the suspense? Will CMs Benedetti and Zurschmiede boycott their own council meetings? It isn't anything close to the mood of the King Larry years, but it still can be very, very funny.


New Albany again commits $100K to affordable housing development; Bicentennial Park bids arrive, council soon to be asked for funding, by Daniel Suddeath (N and T)

... Council President and redevelopment commission member Diane McCartin-Benedetti abstained from voting on the measure. Councilman and commission member Kevin Zurschmiede — who sponsored the resolution asking IHCDA to deny issuing the credits for the Legacy at Riverside and a separate low-income housing project known as Summit Springs — left the meeting in the middle of Swank’s presentation.
