Sir: I agree totally with your editorial March 3, “Tourist booth solution in front of us.”
It seems to me if the numbers are correct, the $50,000 spent on the study would have kept the booth open another three years.
Someone would have earned some money but that does not to seem important to gods in this city. That we needed a study to come up with that decision indicates got me that gods don’t have the ability to think for themselves.
The small cost to keep it open came to their minds, but the fact that the Bradley Centre is costing us hundreds of thousands of dollars doesn’t seem to faze them, not to mention the Capitol Theatre. The railroad that doesn’t exist doesn’t seem to be attracting too many tourists either.
So far, all of councils’ big ideas haven’t saved me any money. Would that be because their big ideas aren’t making any money?
It almost seems that some of these are working on the idea if they throw more of our money around, the sooner the city can go bankrupt. Is it possible that’s their objective?
Mayor Hope complains that people are too negative. Give me a reason to be positive.
I moved here in 1973. This city was a booming place and it didn’t go down hill because the taxpayers were throwing their money around.
I sure hope the taxpayers of this city come to their senses before the next election and get rid of the spendthrifts out of the ivory tower.
