Sigh...Here we go yet again.
In his latest attempt to boost his reelection chances er, improve the City, Mayor Picard unveiled (with the requisite hoopla and self-promotion) the latest "final" plans for re-inventing our shoreline at the New Haven border.
Of course, Mr. "Stop-&-Shop will never build on Elm Street" (or, if you prefer, Mr. "Wal*Mart will never build on Saw Mill Road") is the same gentleman who killed the last "final" plan for this long-neglected parcel...simply because he didn't like the political affiliations of the builders...and pushed United Illuminating away.
Actually, this "final" plan - in the extremely unlikely event it comes to pass - actually looks pretty good from the City's side. UNLESS THERE'S SOME "SWEETHEART" TAX BREAKS we haven't been told about.
At this point, I don't give a rat's butt WHO gets the credit; I don't even care that this is a blatant political ploy.
JUST DO IT!
