I never heard of this "valid petition" nonsense before, and if the 2nd and 3rd readings now need 6 votes, this project is a Thanksgiving turkey on Saturday. It's over.

It's absurd that a nearby hotel that's afraid of competition and a publicity seeking neighbor can doom an awesome project that brings a lot of tax dollars into the city. Two minor players in the overall big picture of the city's economy should not have this kind of influence.

Both the developer's and the hater's Rep made statements indicating that they can't work together. The acrimony between them was obvious.

The fact that all of the city's boards/commission strongly supported this awesome project says a lot. The fact that two local businesses with obvious (not so) hidden agendas could doom this is beyond ridiculous.
