If taxes go any higher locally it will be with the consent of the citizens in a vote. The only other income stream the city has available to them is the utilities they also provide. Now you see why water, sewer, garbage rates are raised again and again--this is the last resort of an insolvent city. The CSO project is stalled at the half-way point-out of money and out of dupes from whom to borrow more money.

The city can't even see that saving the Lincoln would be a good thing. They can somehow maneuver shady deals, which help NO ONE, but a small few, but they can't see that revitalizing the city begins with a PLAN.<br /><br />The city of Tacoma purchased a theater to help revitalize the downtown (http://www.broadwaycenter.org/about/history.asp). <br /><br />Centralia purchased and renovated the Fox Theater as part of their 2004 redevelopment plan. http://www.centraliafoxtheatre.com/<br /><br />Chula Vista, CA purchased the Vogue theater, as a key investment in revitalizing the downtown. <br /><br />Traverse City, Mi bought the City Opera House. There is the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor, MI......there are hundreds of examples of a theater being the center of redevelopment efforts. <br /><br />Supposedly our "main street program" would push for this (as it has in many places across the country) but, our PADA leaders don't seem to read the ample literature. <br /><br />Meanwhile our "economic development" seems to be into sly deals and grant chasing. A waterfront promenade. Really? A transit center. Really? Now a Marine center. Really? <br /><br />WE have ineptitude and a lack of vision. Welcome to the motto of Port Angeles.

Has anybody asked for a daily visit count at the existing facility, to see if they have enough patronage to warrant such City supported expansion?<br /><br /> Have any "retail demand" studies been done, to justify the City spending tax money to help build more retail space downtown?<br /><br /> How about the demand for conference center space? Any studies done to justify that support by the City? <br /><br /> Has spending tax money on projects by the City just become "Just because I want to..", and does not need any study to determine actual need?
