What’s that sound? You hear it, too?
It’s Bill Bardenwerper, Greg Fischer’s right-hand man who helps misguide him regarding matters of zoning, representing people who have decided to build a subdivision in the path of the East End bridge.
You know that even if they don’t end up building, that Bardenwerper will be able to get them paid mega cash. He makes it clear what he’s after.
The state is moving to condemn 11.28 acres of the site for the bridge. But attorney Bill Bardenwerper, who represents the landowners, says they’re pressing on because they have a right to develop the property.
Even if the Riverside Village subdivision is never built, he said, getting the plan approved could enhance the land’s value if the state takes part of it.

If the subdivision plan is approved, “that doesn’t mean it gets built,” he said. “But we’re entitled to that. We might as well get the darned thing approved.”
He added, “Then, I suspect they’ll (the state) make a more serious offer.”

“It’s more valuable than what the state offered,” Bardenwerper said, giving the figure as being in the low $100,000s per acre.
The state’s condemnation process could take a couple of months, bridges project spokesman Chad Carlton said. “It’s the taxpayers’ money,” he said. “We need this property, and we will be buying it.”
The paper will never reveal what’s really going on unless Dan Klepal gets to write the story. But maybe he will? Since this involves nearly everybody controlling Greg Fischer’s little puppet strings.

Everytime I read this kind of stuff, I can’t help but think back to how entire communities were scraped off the map to make way for airport expansion.

Most of that land floods every spring. How could you build on it and/or get it insured?
This is a total con job.

Something smells Fischy! I swear this Mayor is all about the job rather doing his job. What a joke. I’m not sure who screws the public more…the CJ or the Mayor. Both are full of it and are never truthful. If you not the balls to report the story then don’t be a journalist. Dan K man up and be a journalist and be not the CJ’s prison bitch like so many others.
