High drama at the City Council.
The Infrastructure Trust ordinance was “DNP’d”. Deferred and published. A parliamentary procedure used to delay consideration of a matter to the next meeting.
The story is who “DNP’d” the ordinance. It was the Mayor’s guys, Alderman O’Connor, the Mayor’s floor leader and Alderman Burke, Chairman of the Finance Committee.
We thought that a couple of the dissenting Alderman would have the guts to do it. But the mayor finessed the situation by having his people delay it.
More on this later.
