Somebody's been planning, or, you know, maybe the planets are just properly aligned. Property, check. A library-building new City Manager, check check. We even have a warm-up campaign with this UUT for our community groups to practice on. Check check check. Gosh, I wonder if we're going to get a surprise like the way the UUT was sprung on us. Hiring a consultant under the table to get this passed? Once council learns a trick, they use it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-68048842127485443662013-09-15T12:28:53.565-07:002013-09-15T12:28:53.565-07:00A million bucks a square foot for a library.

Council claims we can expect a whopping $500K annual income from this economic juggernaut. Of course none of them will be around to explain the usual shortfall. When it comes to convincing the public to pay for something, time is a politician's best friend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
