Mr. Didier Asks for OpennessPosted by Jim Sack in City & County Government, Fort Wayne, PoliticsThere was little of significance on the agenda last night at council, so little in fact that members wondered why President Marty Bender had even bothered to hold the meeting. You see, there seems to be a cycle to the business of council not unlike various rhythms of life and, in council’s case, they peak during the budget season when there is a parade of paper and people to the table.

The parking lot at the city county building last night was unusually filled with Lexus, Mercedes, Audis and the other rolling status symbols of wealth. Inside the chamber was filling with the well-to-do who were up in arms about a developer planning to building on his, the developer’s land. The citizens, most representing Cherry Hills, a golf-community on the city’s suburban north side, argued against the office complex that the plan commission had recent approved. Their rambling arguments were simple: not in my back yard, we were promised verdant vistas forever and the tired saw of traffic problems. Council members buckled to the will of the people. Six members publicly stated they would vote against the change. Done. So, the sprawlites get their way. They do not want the owner of the land, a developer, a businessman, a taxpayer, etc, to ruin their view. These are people who bought land at a premium, they lament, and demand that their semi-rural setting remain same for perpetuity. No change in my backyard, no progress unless it is progress I approve of. The mob won. No pitch forks or torches, mind you, but a mob, the public, taxpayers, involved citizens just the same. The sort of neighborhood “intrusion” into policy making that makes Liz Brown testy.

A guy walks in to apply for a job dressed as a woman – councilman Goldner wants you to *have* to hire them.Posted by Dan in City & County GovernmentKaren Goldner, one of Tom Henry’s lapdogs is picking up where Henry failed in 2001 by introducing a change to Chapter 93 of the Fort Wayne city code.

Tags: Fort Wayne City Council, Glynn Hines, Karen Goldner, Liz Brown, Marty Bender, Mitch Harper, Tim Pape, Tom Didier, Tom SmithThe democrats think they have screwed their constituency, and now, it’s time to move on. Karen Goldner posted this on the Allen County Democrat blog earlier today. Tags: Karen Goldner, Martha Coakley, Scott BrownBy Jim Sack It was a fresh start last night, all smiles, laughter, joking. City council had not been in session for three weeks and members greeted each other as old friends, almost like a class reunion.

I am still not happy with the arrangement the city has with the new downtown hotel people concerning our access to the sky bridge. “Due to security concerns” the hotel will only make it accessible to we unwashed masses on those rare occasions when the Embassy is hosting an event. Since we paid for the damn bridge we should be able to use it during some sort of regular hours, say 6am to 10pm. Park in the garage near the Marriott and walk from there to the Grand Wayne Parking Garage. Why not? You paid for it and during heavy rain or snowfall it could be a life-saver.

It was quite a show at council last night as some 65 residents of the near east side, neighbors to the recycling transfer site, vented their anger. And, they were angry. The roar started almost as soon as Council President Tom Smith opened the mic last night to citizen comment. One after another minister and a few private citizens parade to the mic to chastise council members for approving the placement of a transfer site in their neighborhood, on the site of the old Pontiac Street Fruehauf/Fort Wayne Foundry campus. Only problem was that council had not approved it. That, however didn’t seem to matter. Nor did civility. Tags: Earth First, Fort Wayne City Council, Glynn Hines, Karen Goldner, Rick Stevenson, Summit Recycling, Tim Pape, Tom Henry, Tom SmithUsually the questioning on city council is blunt. Straight forward questions are asked and usually, meandering answers are given by city officials. There was an example of just the opposite last Tuesday.
