There I finally shared my thoughts  |
I'm not sure what you're talking about. I'm sure I saw in yesterday's or today's Globe quotes from him at the last meeting about the Civic Center. Here, I just went and found it:
Commissioner Mike Nelson said instead of issuing general obligation bonds, the city could finance the reconstruction project with some of the proceeds from the city’s and county’s sales tax. Voters approved the tax in 1997 to finance a series of entertainment-related projects, including improvements to the Civic Center.
“Of all the things we’ve looked at, including a jail and everything else we’ve looked at, at least this fits the projects,” Nelson said.
He said he did not think a pending lawsuit concerning how proceeds from the sales tax should be spent would prevent the city from using sales tax money for the parking lot project.
Mayor Terry Lee said he agreed with Nelson that the city could use sales tax money to reconstruct the Civic Center’s parking lot.
“I think it’s an excellent ‘Why Not Dodge’ project,” Lee said.
Well Sky Pilot, I guess you don't know what you're talking about.
