I think the part I find frustrating is that this is basically found money, and what we see by council at large is "let's find a way to spend this money burning a hole in our pocket.". I also think that if the stance by Chabot is accurate when he says that we could see a 12-15% tax increase in 2015 is going to make a lot of taxpayers angry, particularly if it is as a result of this project.

I think that as soon as Rick Bell writes a column on a topic that a lot of CP automatically disagrees, largely because its Rick Bell.
