He has his family, current assets and future earnings square in the heart of ONSL, and his actions follow his words. Yes, raising ONSL from the dead has been a long-term community effort. Yes, there are schisms between different factions of neighborhood politics. I've lived in much less engaged neighborhood, and love the fact that we have so many involved neighbors that we have factions!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826793.post-6849257785054679722007-06-29T09:27:00.000-05:002007-06-29T09:27:00.000-05:00A few comments:1.)

Kennedy does -- is critical to the Board's work.<BR/><BR/>The Preservation Board's authority comes from the City ordinances enacted by aldermen -- ordinances that can weakened, strengthened, clarified, or revoked by the aldermen. The participation of a senior member of the Board of Aldermen (the sitting member is by ordinance the chairman of the aldermanic HUDZ committee, usually one of the two or three most senior aldermen) is an important element in protecting the PB's scope of activity.<BR/><BR/>Further, the presence of an alderman is useful to remind the other volunteer members of the PB that many issues that they might see as clear cut are -- considered in the context of a neighborhood -- really quite complex.<BR/><BR/>PEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826793.post-47706216104739390412007-06-28T14:23:00.000-05:002007-06-28T14:23:00.000-05:00Ironic that the only alderman on the preservation ...Ironic that the only alderman on the preservation board oversees one of the few wards not within any historic district of any kind. Of course, Kennedy likely only voted out of aldermanic courtesy for Bosley. But what's the point then of having any alderman on the board, if they'll always vote with the alderman for the appelant's property?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826793.post-210496518026194412007-06-28T14:09:00.000-05:002007-06-28T14:09:00.000-05:00John kicks ass, but I didn't know her started the ...John kicks ass, but I didn't know her started the revitalization of ONSL.
