approved because of 3,000 $75 donations (later 5,800) to the
Medal of Honor Foundation --whose board includes the editor
of The Chieftain and a County Commissioner-- yet now having cost
over $1.3 million paid for by an additional $660,000 of Colorado
DOT federal ARRA stimulus funds. Is this good old boy politics.
Vote here.
"The Global Spectrum team at the Pueblo Convention Center will work cooperatively
with the Urban Renewal Authority of Pueblo to educate the public on the important role
our facility plays in Pueblo's economic development in hopes of passing the expansion
vote in November 2008."
They LOST the Convention Center expansion vote THREE TIMES!
The Council then unanimously (including the "liberal" majority) slipped through the allocation for the bridge on the consent agenda. Now they want more stimulus, tourism and TIF dollars to pay for unwanted convention center space. If any are granted, the voters' will is trampled. The right wants a "Trail of Valor" extending from The Four Statues through a Convention Center mausoleum to the Veterans Bridge to their new privately funded Center for American Values on Main St. with its embarrassing entrance at Riverwalk level (see below). None of this is what the majority in Pueblo wants.
Officials issued a plan to build a "Heritage Plaza Event Space" (see #7 above) but A WEEK LATER they put all the space they had promised up for sale.
What part of NO did our public servants not understand?
