Shouldn't everyone be concerned?

The bunker crew is headed for a major crash in the next two years when labor contracts must be decided, and the public safety levy comes to an end. The $ #s don't add up well, kinda like personal finances into the future. It all falls back on Council, since everything needs their approval.

 

The huge land purchases/swaps, demolitions and future tear-downs, and $$ giveaways will look very generous and un-necessary when the day of reckoning arrives. Look for more un-mandated/hidden taxes like the water bill increase. "They" know that they can't succeed at the ballot box, so they must find ways to increase revenue.

 

So--if Kasich is elected governor(I really don't care for him) and kills the rail project, what will happen to the former train station Whistle Stop now that it stands alone on a 6-lane highway surrounded by nothing? What purpose could it serve, and is it really historic? Far better has come down for far less usage space. Doesn't the Duncan station/convenience store seem oddly and dangerously placed at the Central/1st Ave. convergence point adjacent to active railroad tracks and a major intersection? Entrance/exit will be very dicey, particularly during peak volume traffic times. Seems entrances only going east from Firts Ave, and west from Central(though could cause major back-up approximate to the traffic lights). Access from Charles would be difficult. Wouldn't the old Office Outfitter site have been the safest and best option(as planned and for a lot less taxpayer expense)?

I also see this as an orchestrated attempt to intimidate others speaking out here, who might be very concerned about reprisals against their professional situations(very real and understandable).

 

Desperation has taken over with the dark side leaders, using their shills and puppets to do their dirty work.

Since they have no real constructive comments or #s to support their wasteful actions, they now make a very ?able move by using screen name exposure and personal credibilty assumptions.

 

I am who and what I am. No secrets here. Wide open.

I stand by my thinking, and very much appreciate having an un-censored forum where EVERYONE can express their point of view.

 

Where will it go from here?

 

Mr. Saunders is accurate.  The Historic Commission DID put the kybosh on Verizon's attempts to install colocation equipment both on top of the old MRH and on an existing city radio tower located at the Kensington (Dorset & Sherman) water tower.

 

I do not know why they (the historic commission) stuck their noses into this, other than that they could due to their overwhelming scope and power (and this was BEFORE the new ordinance) but they did, and they insisted that such equipment was inappropriate with the historic nature of the areas.

 

I wrote in protest extensively either here, or on the old Journal blogs.  (I can't recall which.)

Council just passed legislation to give them more power/authority, while they aren't using existing regulations.

 

Just wondering..........
