Saint Paul's Holman Field was put in a holding pattern for another week...

What remains to be seen:

Can Council President Lantry defy the Building Trades and convince Lee Helgen to support the appeal?

Will the council majority call on Coleman to expend environmentalist political capital by forcing him to veto future support of the appeal?

Will the Building Trades convince Dave Thune another not so loyal supporter of the trade unions to vote against the appeal? Maybe they will get enough pressure on Helgen to actually do the right thing and deny the appeal.

Will the Mayor's Office be able to convince Helgen to deny the appeal so they won't have to veto support of the appeal?  SPicy thinks there is a little battle between the Mayor and Lantry over who's got more influence over Helgen.

Helgen is rumored to believe that his very own election hangs in the balance on his support of the appeal.  SPicy thinks Helgen's election chances would be better if he showed a little backbone. One has to wonder if his Ward 5 constituents think that action at Holman Field matters that much to the voting population in Ward 5.  Perhaps Rice Street redevelopment should be the main concern.

It's too bad that Lantry and Thune are putting Lee in this position.  They should know what's right, and the Building Trades should not let those two get off easy either.
