For us it is a question much more attached with open standards which are our concerns and not on a clasical debate Proprietary vs. Free software. I agree with you that the following steps will be much harder than just making a policy document but one must begin from somewhere. Kind regards.

]]> Comment on Downtown Development: RAM’s VP Cummings’ Smackdown by Antawn Smith http://blog.willraymond.org/2006/12/06/downtown-development-rams-vp-cummings-smackdown/#comment-2963 Antawn Smith Wed, 06 Dec 2006 20:32:18 +0000 http://citizenwill.org/2006/12/06/downtown-development-rams-vp-cummings-smackdown/#comment-2963 Only 3 counsel members and the mayor were in on the negotiations. So unless there was an active back-n-forth dialogue it is quite likely that most of the counsel was not privy to lots of important information. Further many extremely important details need to be worked out and are unknown by anyone at this point. My suspicion is that fewer yes votes will fall on the final vote in Feb.... but at least the developer was told on record what was missing. Without knowing what the fees will be (will there be a gym, a rec room, jacuzzi? etc how will the grounds be kept etc...) it is very easy to imagine fees that would make the affordable units unaffordable.

Note he does acknowledge they discussed these issues - they just couldn't come to an agreement. RAM is going to make a boatload of bucks on this deal - it's really a steal. Nickel and diming the affordable housing folks doesn't make sense. It's on the town for negotiating a building design that it appears NC State wouldn't accept. Fred, good point.

Do you know what he is being paid for? How much of that is for his teaching duties? How much is for his CN duties? It's really easy to say someone is overpaid, especially when one has no idea what the pay is for. Will, you continue to make these comments about Jack Evans being overpaid.
