How power is in control! I was under the impression that elected officials are to represent the people, not rebuild our city. Taxpayer funding is my objection to the event center/arena. We should not have to finance every whim our elected leaders dream up. Do we really know the total cost of this project, to include property purchase, tax dollars lost on businesses, razing of the buildings, fence rental and true arena cost?
Somehow, our elected officials have managed to stay several steps ahead of us – when was this whim honestly put into action? Our city leaders have denied us our right to out-vote them, but they can not take away our right to vote them out.
