Once more Around the Crossing

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!
