Let's see: By the end of the story, we learn this loan is current (the business has "made all their loan payments," the story notes) and that a city lien against the business has been paid by the business and removed. Look hard for those facts, they are hidden amidst all the negative naysayer swill.
Jumping on the bash-Pawlowski bandwagon is council president Michael D'Amore, quoted in the article as saying the loan was "irresponsible" and "a negligent thing to do with the people's money."
Let's see: Isn't it the job of the city to encourage & support downtown business debvelopment? If the City adopts lending standards like a for-profit bank, then wouldn't we see the paralysis of investment/mortgage monies that is to blame for the sluggish national economy?
One last thing: Notice in the entire page-long story, not one comment in support of the loan or the mayor's business development efforts, or even an explanation of why this loan was done in the first place? (Jarrett says the business owners and mayor would not comment for the story, but who can blame them when the "newspaper" would only print half the facts?)
There must be someone in the city who can add a neutral or positive comment.
Hey Jarrett, how about waiting until the loan fails before you accuse anyone of negligence or irresponsibility? -Sun Jul 11, 07:52:00 AM 2010

Hey Bill, if I were to visit your site 20 times a day for the last month, leaving my fat, ugly and disgusting tracking number on your sitemeter, wouldn't that be like me ringing your door bell 600 times, leaving behind my greasy, pudgy fingerprints on your front door bell?

Bill, boy, it's really impressive the quality of your readership and their understanding about this kind of stuff. But then again your blog is so un-typical.
Keep exposing crooked politicians and "reporters."
Will do, and merci ...
How ironic, "no comment" from a "reporter" (for now) (Renshaw, again).

Okay, so now "reporter" Renshaw is either "pulling our chain" or he's going completely berserk, and we'll assume the latter ...

Renshaw would surely blow this post out of the water if he could. But he can't. Oh well.

Hello to all you Tribune company visitors.
FYI - The Morning Call is irrelevant.
"Irrelevant," yes ... but also an "evil that must be driven out of business."

Back Story :)
Villas, you make it look easy, bravo.
A song would go good here (just sayin') ...
Related Story :(
My Take...
"Kubla Kahn" is right about the Morning Call "newspaper" being irrelevant.
Renshaw's "red flag" "exposé" (wink wink) garnered 3 comments.
Gee, where'd the "newspaper's" "10 million" (wink wink) online readers get to? Oh well.
Over & Out...
Renshaw you liar, tell the truth, you posted those 3 comments (that's your writing style) ...

How many of those three comments attracted to the Morning Call story were simply racist rants?
Looks like all of 'em ...
2 of the 3 comments are from the same cretin, so Renshaw attracted two (2) cretins, not 3.
Merci for the nice catch, "LCD" ... ;D
