UPDATED: Scribner Place: Same questions, same answers, different meeting.

The Wednesday Courier-Journal reports on yesterday’s city/county Scribner Place meeting.

Floyd may aid Scribner Place; Officials wary of 16-year commitment, by Ben Zion Hershberg, bhershberg@courier-journal.com (short shelf life for C-J links).

An excerpt:

Several county officials said Floyd could provide up to about $135,000 a year to help finance the Scribner Place project in downtown New Albany -- but they didn't know if they could commit the money for 16 years, as city officials requested.

Given that the C-J’s Hershberg generally is an impeccable source for the utterances of grandstanding oppositionists on the city council, but none are included in his article today, one must wonder whether the Gang of Four even attended the meeting.

Perhaps they chose to dial them in.
