"...convinced the Council to approve her RFP process by telling them 25% of the units would be eligible for essential workers. But it will be less than 10% (or less) of the units if the Council approves this MOU."
25% was supposed to be good? It's pathetic! If we spend money on community housing it should be close to 100% essential workers. Otherwise, DON'T DO IT!
Sue, you know I agree with you. But Neil doesn't. Courtney doesn't. Amanda doesn't. A Spencer doesn't. To paraphrase Amanda: they got elected so they get to decide.
That being said, I am constantly amazed at how not just the Ketchum council, but also the BCHA board let themselves be manipulated by one person with a personal agenda.
Perry, please don't be to concerned with "tone." It is reasonable to find disturbance in the misinformation (25% v 10%) and absence of transparency in various AGENDAS being promoted at every level of government as elected officials no longer appear much concerned about 'the will of the people' as democracy uniformly slides toward authoritarianism (Troika) to execute various self-dealing AGENDAS (E.G. THE SLEAZY REZONE AT BEAVER CREEK, airport expansion).
For the most part citizens are not even aware of these various AGENDAS until they are a done deal, why a corrupt decision by incompetent officials was made to put forward critical bidget reconciliation legislation in the dark of night which would strip 16 million Americans of their health care and add 3.5 trillion to the debt. Similar to the local MAGA (Malignant Asinine Growth Agenda) movement which aggressively exploited Covid to replace legitimate analysis and review of real estate development proposals and thoughtful planning for growth with an accelerated and abbreviated mindless "rubber-stamp" approval process intended to limit or exclude public participation. Mushroom government at its worst, "keep them in the dark and feed them "$h!t. They obviously did not anticipate your intervention Perry!
Bluebird 2.0 simply a second attempted superficial antidote to the hollowing and toxic gentrification of Ketchum, like a Disney theme park introducing characters wandering around in an effort to enhance the visitor experience by projecting the image of a diverse and vibrant community which no longer exists. This is why requirements for entry are not prohibitive, and recruitment extended to Twin.
The greed and self-serving interests of the few and their AGENDAS not much interested anymore in 'the will of the people,' Netanyahu deploying the U.S. Military in a war of his choosing in order to remain in power and stay our of jail, identical to the objective of the malleable uninformed idiot in the WH he exploited to particpate in his agenda.
We are still dropping bombs on each other as the planet is running a fever to get rid of the virUS, both vaccines and rational critical thinking in government now prohibited. It is only ever about money.
