The new plan hasnt completely pacified developer groups either. Spokane Home Builders Association lobbyist Michael Cathcart calls it a slightly modified version of the ordinance vetoed by the mayor and complains that its still putting up roadblocks for development. Its a better system in that the city can vote to allow water service [for developments in legally challenged UGA expansions], Cathcart says. Its still not a good system in that an anti-growth city council could say, No, were not allowing water service. Besides the proposal, something else is changing: With City Councilman Steve Salvatoris resignation, the councils liberal bloc has the opportunity to add a fifth member for a veto-proof majority. Stuckart, at least, intends to pick up another ideological ally. If I get to vote for who joins me on council, he says, I want to make sure they share my value system. #SHBAadvocacy
