The Iconoclast is scooping the media world in NWA on Fayetteville Mayor Dan Cody’s bodacious under-the-radar proposal for the city to pay $26 million or more of the cost of streets and sewers for a big developers’ wet dream south of town.

This move ought to get Coody beat in November. Or is Fayetteville so beholden to the “cowbirds” of the Chamber, as Jonah calls them, that this will inspire the overthrow of Mayor Dan?
