The Terrifying Campfire Story that is RiverCity Co.
Gina Hannah, a fine reporter with the Huntsville Times, has a thorough piece on how RiverCity Co.'s role in the Dumb-Ass Mayoral Race of 2005 is already becoming a cautionary tale to other public-private partnerships.
The piece has a pretty basic moral. Public-private redevelopment: good. Public-private groups that dabble in politics: bad.
To which I would add, Politicians who exploit long-standing jealousies to win an election: also kinda shady. But let's let bygones be bygones; the piece is a trenchant review of lessons learned during the giant forehead smacking that was this spring. Old news to us, but good to see it analyzed elsewhere.
