Big decisions

Glad to see that the council is getting down to business and doing some major stuff before they leave office. There are a lot of exciting things on the horizon and its important that they get some of the stuff done now instead of waiting for the new mayor and council to be in place. However, it almost feels like they have allowed a lot of this stuff to back up and now are trying to force through as much as possible in an attempt to salvage their legacy. Look what is on the agenda:

- Slum Landlord Law
- Annexation Procedures
- Check Cashing limitations
- Parcel 51
- DeRito project near gateway
- Falcon Field open space
- Pawn Shop near Main and Lindsay

Don't get me wrong. These are the kinds of decisions that should be made and I am glad that they are finally getting done. I guess my real question is: what took so long? Some of these things should have been settled a long time ago.
