Like a phoenix, the rec bond rises from its ashes.

Gee, did I say that the rec bond issue was dead? Not according to the Trib $7 million loan could be nixed in Mt. Lebanon

Because DeIuliis excused himself between the discussion and voting sections of Monday's meeting because of an unspecified illness, the commissioners could revive the issue and hope for a fourth vote at a special Nov. 2 meeting when they are refinancing other bonds, Miller said.
Not according to the Lebo Alert:
Mt. Lebanon Commission will hold a special meeting Wednesday, Nov. 2, at 6 p.m. in the Municipal Bldg. to consider refinancing 2007 bonds.

The Lebo Alerts clearly don't say every possible thing about every meeting or event (although Lord knows there are enough of them no matter how brief they are).

The article says it "could" come up again.

Anyone bother to ask the town if it has been formally added to the agenda before the dramatic phoenix reference?

Ya like that, Charles? I asked Dan Miller and just got a response. He had been in court all week. He is checking the agenda tomorrow. The refinance has to occur that night. If the rec bond isn't formally added to the agenda as it was mentioned in the Trib, according to Linfante's blog, she will bring it up in January "when" she wins.

I have to clarify something. I had emailed Dan Miller to ask if the refinancing will take place instead of, or in addition to the 1st budget review. Both are scheduled for the same night- November 2.

Mr. Jones,
If you are concerned about the $400/ hour proposal why not have the sports groups pick up the cost of the consulting contract instead of the Municipality?
