Remember Robert Felner’s partner in crime, Thomas Schroeder? He gets to keep his position as president of a school board. Despite a federal indictment. Despite a clear cut role in, you know, defrauding schools. Good job, Riverdale, Illinois. [Quad-City Times]

Do You Know Where Your Mayor Is This Morning?
December 16th, 2009 · 1 Comment
Jerry Abramson is in Washington, D.C. to participate in a Brookings Institution forum on sustainable communities. It’s a shame he’ll have no idea what he’s talking about. But I bet he screams that Louisville is the “16th largest city” about a thousand times. Or maybe he’ll talk about his record of killing local [...]

Something about this “green” development in Las Vegas doesn’t smell quite right. But it’s marvelous to look at. [Fast Company]
It won’t top Louisville’s green movement of redeveloping old, neglected properties. Speaking of such, the Green Building Gallery will host Gibbs Rounsavall’s ‘Unearth the Divine’ beginning Friday. [Green Building Gallery]
