UP: Developers. The Common Council approves the Waterfront, a 71-unit apartment building in the Langdon Street National Register Historic District, over the objections of city planning staff and the Madison Trust for Historic Preservation.

But just two days later, Milton withdraws after local media scrutinize his checkered work history. Somebody needs to tell the Madison board about this thing called "Google."
