I have been echoing the same statement on what plan do we have to get us out of this funk should we not shoot for the Olympics. Property taxes are going up regardless and will continue to do so each successive year we are in this rut.
We can sit on our hands, wait and pray that something happens to pick up the economy until the hopeful trans mtn goes ahead which results in increased taxes each year
OR
Take a chance on something that could give a burst to the economy until the hopeful trans mtn goes ahead and inject billions into the economy.
Had Nenshis plan of attracting outside business to fill downtown space had some indication it was working, I might lean more towards the no side but his plan doesn't seem to be working.
Taxes are going up regardless and one option gives us a chance to fast track the recovery while the other is hoping time fixes everything.
