News Roundup
Easter eggs, in the computer world, are hidden surprises that pop up as jokes or to give credit to programmers. With the June primary filing date falling on Easter Monday, politicians will be on guard for any “Easter egg” surprises. More later on that topic.
As you may have noticed, this writer has been called on to report for the print media lately. This phenomenon may continue until somebody steps up to cover the Plainfield beat, which this writer formerly covered for 16 years before retiring in 2003.
The Special Improvement District’s budget received City Council approval in December but the taxes assessed to support its activities have yet to be collected. The City Council voted approval Wednesday (March 7, 2006) to publish the list of property owners affected and amounts they will be assessed for the SID, and also to hold a public hearing on the assessment roll on March 21. Paramount Property Management, which recently acquired the Pittis Estate, appears to be the largest contributor among the 447 SID properties, coming up with 8 percent of the total $125,607 assessment. That amount is matched with Urban Enterprise Zone funds for the total SID budget.
Who’s watching the city like a hawk? Why, it’s a real hawk, as seen through a screen window on East Seventh Street. But the big fellow is more interested in pigeons than in people-watching. He’s leaving that to the bloggers.
