The meeting is to discuss the purpose for the fence at the Dudley House. The meeting is Monday night, starting at 6 p. I continue to shake my head that this council allows the mayor to write policy their job and not share that with them until the last minute.
Poops knew this would be controversial. Of course, if the repairs are reasonable they will come out of the entertainment tax fund or reserves. But once the engineers start digging, be curious what they find probably just fix it with caulk like they did the first time around. The rumor has been swirling for awhile and the other day councilor Thomason said in the council presser that they could take in private donations. It is also no secret that for years Denny has been estate planning for when he bites the big one and there are a lot of folks at the grifting and feeding trough.
Let a private company come in and provide the space. As I have said before private indoor rec centers are doing great and they are building more! I see the same in the convention business. Hotels and event centers are booked out for months. There is absolutely no reason the taxpayers of this city need to subsidize these things. This is a Community Grassroots Effort.
He basically said that the city wants the entire lot including the building in 5 years for a construction staging area to build the convention center. Much of the public input tonight was about how horrible of an idea this was and the council knew in all of their weakness if they passed this tonight all Hell would break loose, so they did what a gutless body of government does, kick the can down the road.
They like to do this. This is what you get when no one has challengers and they take money from the elitist class. If you think the council works for you, please let me in on the good stuff you are smoking. They want to have a neighborhood meeting which is code for we want justification for our YES votes.
