TIF tiptoes ahead

City Commission approved annexation to start the process of creating a special taxing district. Dotty Smith voted for it, despite the explicit phrasing in the proposal of a commercial/retail TIF. She urges that "industrial" be part of the discussion. Mell Kuhn, who most assuredly would have been a no vote, was absent.

I've heard that the pro-TIF forces are trying to get along with the anti-TIF forces on other matters because they know they need at least one anti-TIF vote to cement a deal. It takes four votes to get it done.

Did I hear that Dotty Smith was the one who made the official motion to approve this? Has she changed sides? Can we get more details?

I think every businessman and banker in town is part of ACI.
