During the election I heard candidates speaking of lowering taxes, decreasing the difference between the dual tax rates, building new schools and parks, etc. a bunch of sound bites. I ask simply, how does this project fit into the City's plan for everything I heard during the election and what happens if the proposed ballpark development does not occur on time to make payments. Not only should the City disclose the financials on the ball park but they should show how they intend on accomplishing everything else I heard about during the election campaign, without taxing me back to the Stone Age. A simple request with all of this, could you include the repaying of my street which has been hanging out there on "the list" for years. You may not think it is bad but drive over it every day and tell me what you think.
