Councilman Cappuccino prepares for tonight's city council meeting by throwing neighborhood tantrum.

Here's the agenda for tonight's city council meeting.

Last on the list: The zoning ordinance that wouldn't die, as The Gary emerges from the Wendy's value meal graveyard to once again challenge his sister's ethical sensibility -- a challenge that she'll once again fail according to the ironclad dictate that New Albany politicians forever and always aim for the lowest of common denominators, not the higher ground.

Meanwhile, the inexplicable and inexcusable presence of the Wizard of Westside on any commission with the most remote connection to commonly shared concepts of "redevelopment" was again made laughingly obvious yesterday:
Dan Coffey upset over selection for homeownership bid in New Albany, by Daniel Suddeath (News and Tribune).

New Albany’s bid for neighborhood stabilization funds targeted the S. Ellen Jones area — a move that angered Redevelopment Commission member and City Council President Dan Coffey.

Looks like a long evening.

As much as I would like to see more citizens attend FULL Council meetings, it almost seems inhumane to make the residents near the development sit for the whole meeting, considering how often they have had to be there in the last few months.
