Mayor to Council: Vote yes on June 5

The city just released a recommendation to council members ahead of next week's June 5 vote. Read it here.

If you don't feel like clicking, here's the main points:

* Initiate the referendum process on June 5;

* Select a Tropicana developer on June 19;

* Set a Aug. 1 deadline to reach a number of milestones, including agreements related to financing and a lease as well as questions related to the Tropicana Field redevelopment.

I agree with whoever characterized this business about being civil to the other side as a "mess of kum-by-yah nonsense."

If my neighbors are idiots, I don't have very much interest in hanging out with them. Sure I will look out for them and help them in need, but I am not going to invite idiots into my home for dinner, nor would I want to hang out at an idiots house.

Most of us have unbearable relatives or inlaws somewhere. Why on earth would we CHOOSE to spend time with disagreeable people who aren't even family?
