Her tenure as "acting" was short
Ms. Shelton returned to the Mid-Atlantic region position in late 2005:

I'm not surprised - and she is clearly a hack. She donated $500 to Ridge's campaign and worked for L&I, then donated $2000 to W's campaign.
Oh, and welcome to the blog - the place to discuss all things Harrisburg
I agree. For one thing, the environmental assessment documents violate the Rehabilitation Act. By color coding everything, people like my color blind husband can't interpret it.
By the way, the GSA is reading this blog - regularly.
Using numbers was the only way I could think of to make any reasonable guess at how the sites compared using their criteria. As I'm sure you noticed, they were very close - and the weight given to any criteria could send the result in any direction. And there's the rub - we don't know the weight. I suggest that be the first FOIA request.
I'm not sure why they were absent. I do know there is to be a major announcement by Reed on Friday on midtown development.
It won't be a courthouse annoucement, but a positive development one - that does not involve tearing anything down or displacing anyone.
I agree the Reed crowd should have done more to influence GSA - after all, the city owns quite a few parcels that could be developed into a courthouse project. I think the biggest problem with the whole development/preservation scene in Harrisburg is that there really is no overall plan. In fact, plans are announced on a regular basis, but before they are ready for prime time. Heck, sometimes plans are announced even before the announcer owns the lot in question and even before having approached the owner (for example, the original plans for the Furlow building)
Parking is certainly one of the unstated problems. Where are all these people going to park? Not on the street, and there are no available parking garages.
Where are the relocation plans? If they want Forster and Third, why haven't they come up with a plan for moving the businesses? That at least would keep those tax revenues in the city. It seems to me they could come up with a suggested area as a package deal. The area on the other side of Forster comes to mind - and would revitalize the street.
Where would the Cumberland Court residents go? What a shame to destroy affordable and relatively well-maintained housing, which is in short supply.
And she invoked his name with messianic fervor.
I've always wondered how Bush manages to surround himself with such loyal boot lickers. I'd bet that there were very few Bush votes there last night. It was almost as if she were rubbing his election victory in the face of a crowd about to be made homeless.
It can, but the law is pretty clear that it is a taking for public purposes. The big question is how much will it cost. I believe the total amount appropriated is only $34 million for the whole thing, including site aquisition and building
Just so there is no confusion about what I said about political contributions, here is the link to the information:

By the way, fundrace.org is a facinging little database - you can see what your neighbors gave to candidates.
