Despite having the school board spit in their eye over the replacement school for the Woodruff attendance area, the city asked for input from the school board regarding their plans to implement two new TIF districts along the Warehouse District and Southern Gateway.  It’s good to see the city taking the high road and showing some statesmanship in this matter.

At the same time, I was happy to see the city council not just throwing good money after bad in the name of cooperation.  At last week’s council meeting, there was a proposal on the agenda to replace sidewalks around one of the schools slated to close within the next year or so — clearly a huge waste of money.  They wisely deferred that item until they could get more information from the school board on their plans for that school.

Kudos to the Council for playing fair, but not playing the fool with District 150.
