The citizens of this city are rightly suspicious of big ticket items like this because the city has no track record of management for things like this. Its that simple.

Reader, I would argue that much of that infrastructure is going to sit unused after 2016 like so many languishing white elephants.

Learn your cliches, damnit!
She might look better with a wad of cash shoved in that cavernous gullet of hers. What's she worth now? Think she'll get taxed by our government? Yes, that was for a laugh by the way.
