The subplots and twists are mind-splintering in David Roeder’s report on a proposed not-a-flea-market at 3200 S Kedzie in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood. The cast of characters includes Alderman Munoz, “disgraced former Alderman Ambrosio Medrano” and an attorney relating “a damned lie” that may well be the truth.
A cynic might simplify the tale thusly: Alderman balks at development proposal; $55,000 disappears; Alderman set to approve proposal.
Joseph,
I am shocked to find you would question how the process of making a zoning decision is made in Chicago.
It’s all legitimate. Alderman only care about the public good.
They are selfless and wondermonious individuals and like Sarah Palin I create my own new words.
I refudiate your wrongheaded and meanspiritudious comments.
Now if you excuse me I need to stop drinking.
IrishPirate,
I should have focused on the Alderman’s positive achievements here. He’s ensured that there will be only 400 quality vendors instead of 900 junk dealers. It’s going to be Oak Street South / the Kolossal Kilometer.
It went unreported but the Alderman most certainly insisted that all 400 vendors will pay a “living wage” to their employees.
