High Noon at the not-so O.K. Corral

The dust is just settling after yesterday's Commission meeting about the Commission taking over the duties of the Community Redevelopment Agency. I found some time today to do a Lunch Box show with Jim Stafford about what happened at the meeting. We listened to clips of the most poignant moments and commented as we went along. To listen to our chat, click here (it's at the top of the player's list).

Luckily, the Commission did not succumb to the temptation to assume the CRAs duties. Instead, they charted a measured approach that will entail a moratorium on the Pugh 6th Avenue South project until the CRA and the Commission have a workshop on the matter. They are also going to engage in priority setting with CRA. Many pointed out that the Commission failed in its duty to set the direction and generally acknowledged that communication had been poor between the two entities.

Then, we need to ask ourselves: Why all the drama?

Lack of communication comes to mind.

So, we go on. After all, tomorrow is another day...
