Link to October 8 Wisconsin State Journal article, "Council members want referendum on library, Edgewater redevelopment".Excerpt: In a slap to Mayor Dave Cieslewicz, City Council members want a public referendum on a proposed $37 million central library and to block $16 million in public assistance for redevelopment of the Edgewater Hotel.
Cieslewicz, facing a test of his political clout, said he'll continue to fight for both projects, saying its a good time to invest in the future.
The library and tax incremental financing (TIF) money for the Edgewater are the most controversial pieces of the mayor's proposed $185.8 million capital budget for 2010.
