Show Notes
This week on the Northeast Newscast, we're shaking up our format with a first-hand account of the machinations inside City Hall on Thursday, December 21 - as the Council attempts to salvage the Memorandum of Understanding with Edgemoor for the construction of a new single terminal airport. On Thursday, December 14, a 9-4 super-majority of the City Council voted against approving the MOU, leaving the state of negotiations uncertain. But by the morning of Thursday, December 21, the tides had begun to turn with word that Mayor Sly James had drafted legislation designed to avoid the termination of negotiations with Edgemoor. With this edition of the podcast, we'll drop you right into the heart of the action, as the future of the single terminal airport project hangs in the balance.
