A privately funded Event Center? Sounds good to me.
There has been chatter about this for awhile, but a (reliable) little birdy told me today it is a STRONG possibility and is being studied. Not sure if certain people are putting these whispers out there to scare the city into rushing things, or if they are serious but it would mean there would have [...]

A City Councilor finally brings up the ‘C’ word

City leader’s priorities, once again, screwy
You would think after the mayor had to kick a transient out of Minerva’s last week that city leaders would understand that by spending money on public safety up front you save taxpayer’s money in the long run? Nope.
Councilor Pat Costello asked why the city should be involved if that funding will take care of [...]

Another Episode of ‘Whadda I tell yah’
Imagine that, as I predicted in a toon on Sunday, heads exploding over the Chavez/Obama handshake;

The Pavilion, lost money, again, imagine that
One tool you WILL NOT see in the Pavilion’s accounting office
It still puzzles me that a place that charges admission (except for Visual arts center) that after ten years, almost $40 million in building fees spent and over $10 million in operating subsidies from the entertainment tax, they can’t AT LEAST breakeven?
The Pavilion lost $216,000 in [...]
