So, if I’m reading Nate Rau’s story right, not only are we spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a project (the convention center) that hasn’t even been given a green-light from the City Council yet, we were primed to spend $1,362,500 over what we’d initially budgeted to spend on the project which has yet to even be approved and would have, had the media not caught wind.
Over a million dollars, in this economy, on a project the city council has yet to approve.
People, when I think of that in terms of how many computers for how many classrooms, how many more police officers on our streets, how many more firefighters, new park equipment…
For a million dollars, could we have had Mondays at the downtown library back?
