Mike and I had several conversations yesterday <br /> about the reaction we expect from the homebuilders and developers. We <br /> talked to Ruth about it, and that's when she began thinking about a <br /> veto. For the Mayor to veto a bill is a BIG DEAL, so she's going to think <br /> about it for a few days. Mike was already getting calls from developers <br /> yesterday afternoon. They aren't too happy, as we all expected. <br /> Ruth is also considering whether to just let this blow up so Council will <br /> see what the consequences are of making decisions like this without a public <br /> process. So stay tuned.... I agree with your assessment of it being better <br /> to just sit tight yesterday. I had the same thoughts you did, and also decided <br /> to let them go their own direction. I'm glad Jan is taking some time off - <br /> very good planning on his part. Talk to you later. Linda <br />
