The seating capacity has changed as well as the parking plan. I voted NO but it's too late now. Let'um build it. I hope all those commissioners that think it's such a great idea put their names on that big brass plaque so everyone knows who was ram rodding this mess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925531756985762388.post-21588224611334253162007-06-09T13:14:00.000-05:002007-06-09T13:14:00.000-05:00The arena was voted down, pulled off the table bec...The arena was voted down, pulled off the table because it was clearly doomed to fail, misrepresented, bait and switched, changed from what was voted on, increased in costs, and almost 3 years later not a single brick has been laid!<BR/>Now it is time to scrap the original smoke and mirrors, put together a real, valid proposal and vote on it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925531756985762388.post-16819773447334990892007-06-09T10:11:00.000-05:002007-06-09T10:11:00.000-05:00This is just another case of ourlocal government i...This is just another case of our<BR/>local government ignoring the tax<BR/>payers. The pro arena folks got to<BR/>have several bites at the apple but<BR/>noone else can change their mind. The arena was rammed down our throats by the local rich folks. The county commishes don't want to<BR/>hear from the rest of us.

Umm... wait, they already supported a second vote when the arena was voted down the first time. Oh wait, wasn't it voted down twice before? And 52% is such a large margin, there is no way that many people could have made a mistake or changed their minds.<BR/><BR/>I don't know why they even pretend to listen when people speak out against this pocket raping fiasco. Oh, wait, they DON'T pretend to listen. Sharon Feary and that Sciorentino dude sit over in the corner and whisper to each other like little schoolgirls and pay absolutely no attention to anyone they don't want to hear.
