From the Promoter: Remember when you were a little kid, lying in bed, wide awake in the dark as your imagination got the better of you? Picture that, and add live indie-pop accompaniment from Belaire and Fancy Feast, five of Austin's most talented dancers, and one heaping truckload of feathers. Join Yellow Tape as we re-invent the "dance show", and make it a dance epic. "I'm super-pumped about this show.

Supreme Court has reined in efforts to conduct a wide-ranging audit of public dollars flowing through Oriana House, which operates local jails for Summit County. The court found in a 4-3 decision released Wednesday that Oriana House, despite receiving nearly all of its funding from taxpayers, is not a public entity and its books are not open to public scrutiny. The decision doesn't make Oriana House immune from audits. Rather, it limits the scope of the audit. The court determined that private companies that do business with state government, such as the nonprofit Oriana House, must meet certain standards before being considered a public body. The ruling means Oriana officials do not have to surrender all financial records sought by state Auditor Betty Montgomery since her office began a special audit more than four years ago.
A combination movie theater and condo development in Anderson Township has been delayed, and township officials are blaming Kmart. The proposed 12-screen movie theater with four floors of condos on top would be built along Five Mile Road just off of Beechmont Avenue. The complex would be built where a parking lot is currently located, right next to a Kmart. Under the terms of its lease, Kmart must okay the project. Kmart's corporate management claims to have just found out about it after township trustees sent a letter complaining about the delay.

That's our reaction to news earlier this month about delays - and, as a result, increased costs in labor and materials - for 29 renovation and construction projects in the Ann Arbor public school system. In some ways, the situation is all too believable, part of a pattern of irresponsible oversight, failed communication and an ongoing lack of leadership. It's costing us, and it needs to change. These projects are funded by a bond that voters approved in 2004, which also is paying for the district's new high school. That high school is a year behind schedule and is at least $8.3 million over budget. You would think that, because delays and cost overruns for the high school have received intense public attention, the district would be scrutinizing all aspects of projects related to the bond.
