Oh we get it, very funny!
Maybe Gilday can buy the Reporter, name it the Kirkland Reporter Sun and then after 12 months he can just drop the name Reporter - sorta like the Reporter did when they bought the Courier and hoped no one would notice.
Did they ever print anything about the recall or KirklandViews in the Courier Reporter?

In a word, yes. Check today’s paper. Rob’s “common ground” missive was reprinted.

Perhaps the new editor can figure out what news really deserves to be front and center. I know it’s free but at least they could put important news like the B of A fiasco on the front page. I wondered if the placement of this story on the inside was deliberate to make the Mayor not look as bad as he is? I did like the comment about the Mayor handing his pen to Mr. McElwee. If any of us didn’t already know that you were in the Civik guys pockets.

Al, that was an interesting article. I’m still pondering Dave Asher’s meaning when he said that “he was frustrated by attempts to use the flexibility of the building code against the council.” Was this about the council winning or losing? Clearly the code needs to be firmed up, although I understand why the drafters may have felt flexibility was a positive thing in a changing city. SRM says it is still not sure what “they” want. How do they do business in this environment?
One question the entire council needs to ask itself is what would have happened had CiVik not appealed the DRB decision. Would this project be underway? Or would they have overridden the DRB on their own, considering their earnest assertions about this building? I wonder.

Tia,
That was absolutley the best question I have seen asked here.
My opinion is that the Council would have let it go probably by a 7-0 vote. Someone a long time ago described the majority of the Council as being tied up in their own underwear. There truly are very few thinkers there. Without a prod from someone or some group they just can’t seem to get out of their own way.

If there had been no official appeal, the matter probably would never have been on the Council agenda. There isn’t an automatic Council vote on such a project. I think it’s possible for Council itself to calendar the issue if there is a lot of public outcry, but I wouldn’t expect them to do that.
