Read excerpt
More than a year after Solvang red-tagged his unfinished hotel, Ed St. George said he has no intention of raising a white flag over the dormant development. “We’re already 90 percent done.

Before heading out that morning to protest the City Council’s recent handling of a wage dispute, Phillips walked his supervisor—who’s among Solvang staff’s 10 non-unionized department heads—through his daily tasks.
