Remember that deal we talked about earlier today? Yeah, not so much. Only 8 of the 13 voted in favor of the emergency member, one short of the supermajority necessary to enact such legislation. As it stands, there is now no plan for parking around the stadium, which could subject the city to serious penalties to the team if there aren’t some 1200 spaces available by opening day 2008.

Mayor Williams says it best: “Take any major project from the pyramids to Stonehenge. The stupid parking lot has taken more hours and meetings per parking space. It’s incredible.”

Right on, Tony.
