After an hour of discussion on development of the area around the new Walmart, Alderman Ertz has some plain words about what is expected of Block Development and Mayor Bower made it even more clear why past actions (or in-actions) have soured the relations.
The 15 minutes of interaction leading up to the strong admonishments by Alderman Ertz and Mayor Bower. WARNING !!! the contents of the second video may put you to sleep. It is also sometimes a major effort to figure out if the attorney has actually responded to the aldermen’s question and what that answer means. Lots of ducking and dodging, but all and all a fairly boring fight.
