Council Vote Tinged with Political Retaliation?

Council reversed an earlier vote on September 17th to approve reappointment of Leonard "Tripper" Goodman to the board of the Downtown Management District and instead moved to deny him another term.

Lily Limon asked to reconsider only Goodman's reappointment. Council voted 4-3 to deny the reappointment.
