FINGER COMPANY POKES INTO THE MONTROSE DISTRICT LAWSUIT FRAY 
A corporate appendage of the Finger Companies has filed a document to add itself as a plaintiff to one of the lawsuits trying to shut down the Montrose Management District, Nancy Sarnoff reports this week for the Chronicle. The company’s Museum Tower along Montrose Blvd. sits a few blocks south of US 59 in a narrow south-pointing offshoot of the district’s boundaries, making it one of the property owners assessed a regular tax; Sarnoff writes that Finger’s new filing zeroes in on that 2016 petition to dissolve the district, which proponents say has garnered signatures from property owners of about 80% of the district’s land area; the filing claims that the district has been trying to invalidate individual signatures in an effort to bring that total back down below the required threshold for dissolution.

My lower peripheral vision interpreted that mosaic bottle in the sponsor post as a freshly poured draft beer at first glance… Then it registered and my sudden spike in elation plummeted back down to Tuesday….
Toby, its Wednesday now! You got this week licked! Cheers.
If the Montrose District was actually doing something besides maintaining an office staff and posting expensive signage, I might be persuaded to support its existence. As a district resident traversing our pothole riddled streets on a daily basis, I’m just not seeing the benefits for the cost incurred. These entities should not exist in perpetuity with no transparency or oversight. I applaud the Finger appendage for taking action.
Good .Get rid of the management districts. They’re taxation WITHOUT representation scams !!
Love this. The location was chosen in honor of Alex Hill, a 21-year-old killed in the crosswalk during a January 2016 hit-and-run.
