The "why" is easy: the stones don't buy votes, and no one is giving out grants to maintain them. Our local leadership is completely and totally for sale, and they don't work for free.<br /><br />Even if the FBI raid turns up nothing "illegal," I have lost confidence in everyone currently holding a position of authority in this city to do the right thing. Enough "legal" shenanigans have been revealed (mostly through blogs, but also thru the paper) for me to realize that fighting city hall is pointless unless you bring a big checkbook. monkey mommanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-36132932138769314912015-07-31T07:24:53.401-04:002015-07-31T07:24:53.401-04:00In another twist on the MLK property (old fertiliz...In another twist on the MLK property (old fertilizer plant), the city recently lost both state and county grants for work on that parcel to connect the parks. The combined total of the grants was in the $650,000 to $750,000 range, with the city contributing another $350,000 toward the project.<br /><br />In early 2013, Pawlowski spoke before county commissioners saying that the project was ready to go once spring came, and their approval for the county grant was urgently needed to obtain the state grant.<br /><br />In June of 2015, it was reported that the state grant had expired due to lack of action and the county grant had also expired.<br /><br />Apparently connecting the parks wasn't really that important to the Mayor, since he could have still used City money (from his water-lease slush fund) to accomplish it. Looking back at it now, it seems that the only real "connection" was to give the city cover for the Atiyeh transaction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
