Response to Circo

Cindy Circo seems to me to be one of the better people on the City Council. Admittedly, I haven't given her the scrutiny I've given the others. My impression is she does a better job of keeping her head screwed on straight. It saddened me this morning to discover that she's taking the party line defense of the Power & Light District. You can read the details of this defense over at her blog.

In case my comment to her post gets rejected by the comment moderator, here it is for your consumption:

With all due respect, Councilwoman, I think you are missing the point of the criticism. The criticism, at least in my case is not of the physical result. The criticism is of a business model that requires the tax payers to support a private enterprise for the next how many years. Your defense of the P&L is based on the assumption that a different business model could not have achieved the same physical result. It's an unprovable assumption.
