As I have pointed out, several times, I don’t support a new events center, because I really do not think there is a need, BUT if voters approve this, it needs to be built any place besides the Arena site. I have suggested it at Dawley Farm, by the Empire Mall or Downtown, but some people think we need to just start rubberstamping the shit out of the Mayor’s suggested site;
Regrettably, many business leaders made it clear that they will not support building the events center if it is at the Arena site. I hope their opinions were only an attempt to sway the council vote, and they will get on board with this important step forward for our city.
Why? While I think some people within BID have been a little over the top, I commend them for standing up for what they believe in, I especially commend Dave Billion Jr. for putting his name on the line and speaking out.
In particular, I want David Billion to know that the two vehicles we drive, which were purchased from his dealerships, will be the last.
Why support a business that doesn’t want to support our city?
First off, I will never buy an American vehicle ever again, German is the only way to go, so I don’t blame you for not wanting to buy that crap, but to refuse based on the fact that Dave’s opinion is different then yours is just childish. Dave did something that the old skool uptight rich farts in this town would never do, he questioned the status quo for the betterment of the community, and he put his name on the line to do it. Saying that David doesn’t support this city is like saying the Hamburglar only eats chicken McNuggets. Grow a brain. We need more David Billions in this town and less Dave Kempers.
