Letter to the editor: Nugget Bailout Project
I'm a taxpayer who has lived here for 20 years and my dream is not the same dream Mae Adams and her trustees dreams are!
I have a problem with a Boise, Idaho resident like Steve Neighbors telling me what's best for Carson City. We are already in the NEGATIVE with other projects (Pony Express and V&T). We have experts say that in this economy it might not be the best thing to start a new project. I kind of would like to see the "pay as you go, and if you cant pay, then don't go" theory when it comes down to tax payers footing more projects.
Our library is just fine in its current location (especially with all the computer updates) . With Kindles, the Nook, and the Sony E Readers, tourists won't be riding into town to check out a book. If you think I am unreasonable with my concerns I ASK YOU TO PUT THIS PROJECT TO A VOTE!
I wish the Board of Supervisors can move as swiftly and diligently to fill the empty spaces throughout downtowm and especially the 15 plus vacant buildings down by the Kmart (that have been empty for 7 years}, then they are trying to get this project done. Spend the $42 million filling up the Ormsby eye sore, the empty Jack's Bar and the slab of cement next door, all of which is downtown on 5th and 4th St.
Locals and tourist do not shop downtown at law firms, pawn shops, diamond, gold and antique shops, beauty shops, personal training gyms, and the likes of empty business.
Please give Rob Joiner the same amount of press time you give to Steve Neighbors. Mr. Joiner is asking all the right questions and Mr. Neighbors reply is "You must be running for office". Is this project already a done deal? If it is not a done deal I ASK YOU TO PUT THIS PROJECT TO A VOTE. The Carson City residents will not charge you thousands of dollars for consultation fees.
As a taxpayer I know I have no say in this project. The only thing I have is the right to vote for my local politicians and I can still use the old-fashion boycott of businesses.
