I think Werner has it right, the plan is the plan. The revelation that C-8 is not properly built or would be too costly to make "right" is what's driving the change of plans. We need to make the government of this little city accountable for their actions. There needs to be an outside investiga

I always wondered why there is such a "space" between city government and the Board of Ed. Maybe just too many egos with big budgets? There should be a link between the two, they are both equally important. Let's hope that Mr. Keady's Rec-centric attitude creates that link. Greg - Original

I was at a council meeting once where they had to vote to issue a permit to the Ladies Cotillion (sp?) to have a dance, surely there must be a permit issued and fee collected to have a carnival in a public park. Insurance held by the carnival owners would be one of the big concerns. Greg

How has it come to this? What has the current council done to increase income and reduce costs? If a "fiscally responsible budget" means hocking your last remaining asset so that you can stay afloat until some futures come though then some one must have been sleeping during Economics 101.

This just tells you how much the current council does not have the experience or savvy to be putting contracts like this together. Even their attorneys are to be inept. I am no attorney, but I see that the "agreements" are so lopsided, they give all of the power to the "developer" and leave the
