South Side revolt looms as council row continues
President Thompson and Councilman King clash over a Shelby Street plan opposed by South Siders at Fountain Square Hall. The group seeks a straight route, arguing it requires fewer demolitions and only two vacant lot purchases. A final hearing is set for December 30 before the board of works amid talk of a large flood bond.
