Economic Development Commission meeting CANCELLED AGAIN

This is just hard to believe.

Unprecedented tough economic times; vacant commercial properties all over the city; businesses struggling to make a go of it; tax burden shifting to homeowners; school budgets strangled -- and we could not roust a quorum for an Economic Development Commission meeting last night. And that's after cancelling LAST MONTH'S meeting as well!

I'll come right out and say it: Time to disband the EDC.

John

Could you please reveal which EDC members did attend and which did not attend forcing your meeting to be canceled.

These people apparently do not take their commitment very seriously.

Chairman Skowronski said that three members had called and were excused; I don't know which three.

PRESENT:
Alderman Ken Skowronski, Chair
Alderman Steve Olson
Roseanne Burac-Englert
Diane Oleson
James Kerr
John Michlig

Brian A. Sajdak (Assistant City Attorney)

NOT PRESENT:
Joe Haselow
Norm Hintz
Divaker Desai
Jon Zawacki (recently resigned; seat vacant)
Tim Ohm
Mary Karolewicz

This is very revealing. I do hope the Mayor takes note of this if he does not disband the EDC.
