As I've mentioned in the past, one of my favorite economists is the late Wilhelm Roepke. During research for my MA paper on Roepke, I created a page on this blog with several links to documents about and by Roepke.

Since that page was created 4 years ago, many of the links have been outdated. I've gone in and updated all of the links. Click here to open my updated Wilhelm Roepke page.

Lamberts 2014 Christmas Letter

Rather than a Christmas letter, the slideshow below captures some of the events in our family during 2014. Because our son Alex leads a more interesting life than the rest of us, you'll see more photos of him. Ah, the life of a high school student!

Troy Zoning Board of Appeals - December 2014 Meeting Recap

City staff has posted the video recording of the 12/16/14 Troy Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) meeting to YouTube. At the bottom of this post is the video. (The meeting actually starts shortly after the 2 minute mark of the video.)

There were two items on the agenda:

1. Approve a variance for 863 Troywood. The Board voted to postpone action on this until the January meeting. I voted "yes" on the postponement motion. 
2. Approve a variance for 4083 Ledgestone. The Board approved the variance. I voted "yes" to approve the variance.

Also, Board member Bruce Bloomingdale announced that he will be resigning from the ZBA effective on 12/31/14. Thank you Bruce for your service!

You'll also see on the video that City Attorney Lori Grigg-Bluhm gave a lengthy legal update to the Board at this meeting.
