The City Council is scheduled tonight to approve spending $25,000 to develop an "Evanston Roadmap for the Arts" that would recommend policy, programs and infrastructure to "foster a supportive climate for the arts in Evanston, for artists, the creative economy and the City’s residents." Ponzi thinks he's got the picture.
Evanston officials are worried about what could happen if Dominick's doesn't renew the lease for its supermarket at the Evanston Plaza shopping center in 2020.
Evanston aldermen tonight are scheduled to approve spending $28,000 for a consultant to study whether the city is paying its non-union employees the right amount of money.
In the face of a flurry of economic development projects in Evanston, with dramatically different rationales used to justify them, Ponzi --as you might expect if you know Ponzi -- has his doubts.
It seems to Ponzi that just about everybody who asks is getting a handout from the City of Evanston these days. Which leads the pink pig to invoke the old Mike Royko motto for Chicago -- "Ubi est mea?" -- or "Where's mine?"
