Read the record
In the May 7 chain, Schwaab points to Town-owned parking, $2 million in the trust and a possible permit denial and lawsuit as bargaining tools. He asserts that Ludtke has seven votes. She suggests a $2 million arrangement under which Winn would move the Trust building to Town land behind the site as a welcome center.
What it establishes
Private exchange about using municipal levers and claimed votes to negotiate historic preservation.
Limits and context
The asserted votes are not a vote record. No legal authority to deny a permit, actual denial, lawsuit or agreement is established. Preserve the historic-preservation purpose and distinguish proposal from action.
