I beleive Asbury Partners picks up the tab for Aaron, perhaps that is why he gives advice in the best interest of the developer and not the city. It is 4 years after the MOU and 3 years after the RA and there has been little progress. Aaron is not doing his job from the city's perspective. Had he been doing his job it would be unnecessary for the council to NOW finally get off its duff and send a letter to Fishman to get started with the Casino et al. Let's see if they follow through or if Aaron blunts their move.
I assume Tommy is earning his fee and thus the title is not meant for him. However, in many minds his contract colors what he says in public. You never know if it is sincere or just ass kissing to keep his contract secure. Waiting with baited breath Tom for that lawsuit of yours agaisnt the city.
Lastly, we have a renewal of the contract for the appraiser who told the city that the Triangle is worth $490,000. I purposefully left out AND STREETS in that sentence because that is exactly what the appraiser did in her valuation although the documents clearly indicate that the street areas are INCLUDED amd ENLARGE the parcel. The council should be big enough to put politics aside and see that my criticisms of this appraiser are not only valid, but obvious.
