Madison Common Council wept in terror after they discovered the Edgewater Hotel Project arose from the dead, threatening to haunt them for the entire upcoming biennium.
“We thought it was gone for good,” Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said early Thursday morning while holding back tears. “Someone please hand me a drink.”
The Edgewater Project was last seen roaming the streets and looking for advocates after it was kicked out of the Plaza for wasting everyone’s time and money.
Mayor Paul Soglin originally killed the Edgewater two months ago to gain revenge on Ald. Bridget Maniaci, District 2, the mother of the Edgewater, after she made a disparaging comment about his mustache.
Enraged, Soglin said the return of the Edgewater “is an unfortunate truth,” but he is eager to redeem himself when it comes to his second killing spree of the year: the Mifflin Street Block Party.
“Hasta la vista, baby,” Soglin said Thursday.
