Comment on Expiring Aurora City Council witnesses a rebirth in decorum after months of clash by Jeff Brown

Meanwhile Aurora and its retail/dining economy continue to slide downhill-- forcing City Council to close facilities and borrow money for basic street maintenance. Its simply not sustainable. What percentage of the city's population of ~400,000 would materially benefit by further oversight of APD? Maybe a few tenths of 1%? Will the politicians admit that this is true? What percentage of the city's population would materially benefit by bringing the level of retail activity up to Average and in doing so provide a $40 to 50 million/year boost to the city's collection of retail sales tax? All 100%. Will the politicians even acknowledge the opportunity here? Speaking as a pragmatically moderate Independent, it certainly seems time for City Council to refocus on the city's abysmal retail/dining economy.
