Fight underway to save Jacksonville from itself

[sheclown]

Up now. Hold on

[sheclown]

I think the developers have dreamed up something so complicated that no one could possibly follow it

Staff is giving their report. We need to post a copy of that. Lots of talk of credits and credit selling 

[sheclown]

Bill bishop blasting planning staff report. "They don't know what they are talking about "

[sheclown]

Bishop explains th original intent of the mobility fee. 

He is saying the project list is outdated. 

He says purpose of new ordinance is to provide flexibility

[sheclown]

He seems to have a lot of faith in developers   Although he says it still has to pass muster with the planning dept. (of course the same people he just blasted as the beginning of his discourse )

[sheclown]

Bishop believes that the developers will do wonderful things for Jacksonville

[sheclown]

"Let's think outside the box" says bishop

[sheclown]

The other council members have now lost the will to live

[sheclown]

"A lot of hype out there ". Says bishop

[sheclown]

Redman speaks for bikes

Schellenberg wonders how people can understand the bill if the planning department doesn't understand it either

Bishop now says developers will fall to lowest common denominator.

[sheclown]

I read the urban core cpac letter of opposition

Sierra Club is speaking in opposition

[sheclown]

Bishop smacks down Linda Benner.  Not a smart move on his part. She is a smart cookie

[sheclown]

The speaker stated to bishop that the mobility fee was outside the box thinking. It was award winning for thinking outside the box

[sheclown]

Lawyer for BPAC boldly criticizes bishop and his plan.

Lumb stumbles trying to trip up the lawyer 

Redman helps the lawyer out
