The City’s highly paid Law Director did not show up prepared for the city council meeting on July 14th and handed down incorrect advice on the legalities of rescinding or amending Ordinance 65-05.
Council President Moe Romeo made a motion to reconsider the legislation, seconded by Ward 3 Councilman Ed Icove. It seems these two were spearheading the attempt to derail the not so unsuspecting residents with the scheme.
Was this a calculated attempt to throw the public a curve ball? If council rescinded “point-of-sale” and it was removed from the November ballot, they could bring it back later in an amended form.

QUESTIONABLE CREDIBILITY
Council President / Ward 2 Councilman Moe Romeo is not consistent with his “public” position on the “point-of-sale” legislation. He uses the classic “bait and switch” technique to attempt to sway voter support. At both his webpage on the City website, and in the most recent “Update” newsletter, he emphatically states that interior inspections are off the table. However, on July 14, 2008, he suggests to Council that they could amend “point-of-sale” to include INTERIOR as well.

Hey, not only this, but it appears that the Port Authority i going to significantly reduce support for retail complexes under their new plan. Should bode well for Cedar Center assistance, huh?
