The URA was very active under Luke, and for my part I'd say that they were really doing some great work. Bill was usually on the other side of the redevelopment projects that have taken place recently as a councilman, I think a mayor necessarily sees things somewhat differently. Does Bill stay closely aligned with the grass-roots side of his support base, or does he lose them as he works with larger developers and investment entities? It'll be interesting to see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-16443396343047523782013-08-21T23:58:54.853-04:002013-08-21T23:58:54.853-04:00If true, that is interesting news.
