> action that overturned a 
> rezoning vote by the Dubuque City Council that would
> have allowed the 
> building of a controversial seven-story condominium
> between Eagle Point Park 
> and Lock and Dam No. 11.  The court ruled in favor
> of Preserve Our Bluffs, 
> finding that Mayor Terry Duggan had a conflict of
> interest in that the 
> developer, A.J. Spiegel, was solicited by the mayor
> to list the condominium. 
>   The decision has been appealed by the council and
> now is before the Iowa 
> Supreme Court.  Preserve Our Bluffs is a group of
> tri-state citizens 
> concerned about the over-development of bluffs along
> the Mississippi River.
