Wal-Mart a Go-Go
The Responsible Growth for Northcross blog points to a pretty incendiary interview Brewster McCracken delivered to KVUE over the weekend. Dude does not mince words:
"We do have grounds, in fact, a legal responsibility to stop this site plan," McCracken said.
He said a city memorandum may hold the key to legally stopping the go-ahead for the Wal-Mart site plan. He says it's not what's in the memo that's most important, but what was left out.
"We've learned from our own staff that we did not follow the law in the city of Austin in providing legally required notice to impacted neighbors," he said ...
McCracken said if the site plan is rejected, he does not believe Wal-Mart of (sic) Lincoln Development would file suit, because he says both companies are interested in continuing to do business in Austin.
Couple that with the word on RG4N's front page ("City Council members were planning on presenting a resolution for the December 14 council meeting that would suspend the site plan for Northcross. On Friday, we learned that they have changed their minds because they are afraid Wal-Mart and Lincoln Property might sue the city."), and it's an all-out speculation frenzy!
