Me either.... That is the point...There is too much spending. Fix the stupid roof at $700,000. The library asked for @$460,000 in bonding and they had the rest of the money allocated. Take the referendum money, get each library fixed up according to plan..they will finish in @2009. Come back to the Walker Library...the issue is not going to go away, the land will increase in value and absorb roof repair and in 2010, taxes will be coming in from TIF projects such as along the river. A roof repair turned into a 5-7 million dollar library along with @10? million housing/retail space. I am sure most would like to have a beautiful library with a coffee shop...and a green roof for those looking from above...must be the angel talked about on an earlier post....who wouldn't ...but then don't complain about taxes and don't place that blame onto MPL. People don't like Walker due to parking...I would rather have a library with a parking ramp a block away than a library with the doors closed. Don't like to walk downstairs..well, tell that to someone who lives in a area without a library and lousy bus connections. Can Walker not wait until the Central library is done, until East Lake is completed, until some of the other's are opened more than 50% of the time. Has this been said before!!:+} I am also looking forward to the 2005 Mayor's race. It will be interesting to see what surfaces about spending, NRP should be an issue, and hopefully, Police, Fire, Parks, Education will come to the forefront. They need a bake sale for the Stadium to help them out a little bit! Dorie Rae Gallagher Nokomis > 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
