Good Riddance to Worden & Tapp's City Hall to Depot Plot
Get the Manor developed and Cascade bridge done first

I think it was a wise move for the city council to rid this dumb idea to move City Hall to the Depot. Matt Murray was right! I have not heard any citizens say they thought this was a good idea, except Delaney at The Hawkeye. The Hawkeye was pushing this. They should report the news, and both sides of an issue and let their readers decide. They lobby for the projects that they support. The public and their readers then get one sided information. They would not admit to this, but it is the truth.
Delaney had an editorial a few weeks ago about families should cut up their credit cards and live within their means. It was actually a good editorial about financial management. When it comes to City projects that he wants done, no end to borrowing and no common sense to spending?
My suggestion is: If Delaney and The Hawkeye think it is such a good investment, good location, good return on their money, let them develop it. There is sound reasons why no private business has developed the Depot in 25 years.
Our City Council needs to listen to the public and not just special interest groups.
Get the Manor developed and Cascade bridge done first.
