Yes Ron, It's Exactly The Same. Except Totally Different.
Well, the Homeless Hilton project is falling apart around his ears and Ron is trying the oldest trick in the book (the book of double-talking politicians, that is)--the talking cure.
Today's Times Free Press story had a lot of interesting information. Like Councilman Pierce saying that he gives up trying to work with the Mayor on the project because when dealing with Ron, it's "my way or no way."
The most outrageous bit was when Ron "compared the homeless project to the three-year, $120 million waterfront revitalization effort overseen by his predecessor, Bob Corker. He said the riverfront endeavor required extensive preparation, and so will this one."
Uh. Where to begin. Littlefield's homeless debacle is to Corker's riverfront project as Britney Spears is to responsible motherhood. How can Ron be foolish enough to compare his hairy turd of a project to Corker's shiny riverfront diamond? Wow. Can he be so clueless as to believe he can spin his Homeless Hilton crap into Waterfront gold just through the power of his words? Sorry Ron, the whole thing was ill-conceived and poorly executed and someone will soon be using it (and the suspicious financing and favors-for-friends related to the land acquisition) against you during the upcoming mayoral campaign.
In Michael Davis' excellent story, Ron Littlefield, Chattanooga's Worst Mayor Ever, admitted that there's no plan to make his homeless complex actually happen, but that he hoped that if he bought the property an opportunity would come along to bring his unformed dream to reality. That's the kind of mayor we have folks - a wing and a prayer. Except the wing cost Chattanooga's taxpayers $775,000. Good news though--prayers are still free.
