Joe Roddy
Alderman Joe Roddy who represented parts of the Central West End and Forest Park Southeast is resigning after 30 years of service. He deserves much credit for his efforts to improve housing in his ward and starting the Cortex technological district which has been a major boon to the city. He is the epitome of an excellent political leader who knows how to work with a variety of people to get things done. Written by Paul Dribin
