Are we really shocked to learn that this deal was bad to begin with and getting worse as time goes by?<br /><br />I'm sure everyone in the city would love to add another building/hotel downtown. But the city would have basically been financing the damn thing. At least half of it would have been paid for by cash, TIF and other revenue streams from the city. What about that seems right?<br /><br />And had this deal gone through, what would we do about the next hotel chain or corporation that comes knocking looking for a similar deal for a downtown project?<br /><br />Yet, the city is gearing up to ask us to approve a tax increase to raise $800 MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS for basic infrastructure repairs.<br /><br />Unbelievable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-54549168370555682562016-09-14T06:39:04.722-05:002016-09-14T06:39:04.722-05:00There's never been any serious private money o...There's never been any serious private money or much interest on the part of the big hotel chains for this latest fantasy deal cooked up between Burke and Sly.<br />Just another example of carloads of hype and grandiose announcements followed by desperate backroom maneuvering to find more taxpayer money and figure out a way to keep that information from getting out.<br />The latter not much of a problem with what passes for local media which is much more committed to being a downtown and city hall cheerleader than in fulfilling their role of informing the public.<br />And more air hissing out of Sly's hype balloon about a downtown renaissance, big time tech, transit, development, and all the rest.<br />The waddling ducks are coming home to roost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-9591115716724737262016-09-14T06:36:19.607-05:002016-09-14T06:36:19.607-05:00A radical notion to Corrupt City officials-----eff...A radical notion to Corrupt City officials-----efficient basic city services- water bills that don't drive citizens bankrupt.<br /><br />Oh, I forgot....citizens are not a priority to the Mayor and Council and city Manager.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-29299197221174707342016-09-14T06:21:53.660-05:002016-09-14T06:21:53.660-05:005:53
