May I suggest you take a permanent vacation;

So the task force wisely has chosen not to waste its time this year courting legislative permission to generate the money needed to build an events center.

That effort still will have to be made in the future. Perhaps then, when the task force has a few more details determined – maybe that little detail about the events center site – a better mood will prevail in the Capitol, and city advocates will have better luck making their case.

The task force, meanwhile, is showing good judgment in a lean year by resisting the urge to lobby on this issue.

To build events center, city needs money – but now isn’t time to lobby Capitol

Finally, someone in the task force grew a freaking brain and figured out raising taxes during a recession to build something WE DON’T NEED is not a good idea. Could you pass the memo to Mayor Munson please.
