I found this statement about Events Center funding ‘interesting’
Turbak said Monday the city soon will finish paying off other bonds, which would free up revenue to pay off the bonds for an events center. That means other programs and projects won’t be sacrificed for the events center.
You mean like transferring the Lewis & Clark bond over to water rates and out of 2nd penny CIP revenue? Oh and those pesky campaign promises. Notice during the campaign he promised
• Not to add on to Convention Center
• Pay for it with Entertainment taxes, user fees, private donors and parking and rental fees. No mention of bonding (click on image to expand).
