There has been a little chatter after the council decided to put it on the November ballot last night;
Voters will decide the outcome of Huether’s $115 million events center plan Nov. 8 after the City Council voted 7-1 to call a special election. The project has been one of Huether’s top priorities.
So will there be an official opposition group? One wonders. Holsen and Hildebrand seem to be against the EC as planned at the Arena site.
The Mayor’s campaign ad and his presentations to the City Council and his comments to the press are declarations of what he will do regarding this project. Call it what you will. But the fact is that his words are just that – promises to do something.
Many have thrown the idea out there, including myself, that the BID people and the ‘Staggers Brigade’ need to join forces to fight this poor plan. I hope some kind of opposition group forms, I would hate to see the mayor steamroll this project over the next 3 months with mis-information, lies and shady math.
I’m game, anybody else?
