  1. Weinzapfel may have had a surplus but he left an agenda that took on a life of it’s own. The new water meters, the arena, hotel, the walk way bridge and dependence on the boat set the pace of where we’re at today. The spreadsheet was available to all politicians so they shouldn’t act surprised. We are in for some interesting times and the chickens are coming home to roost.

    • I always smile when the CCO puts Weinzaphel’s “surplus” in here. I suppose there’s a reason to do it without also noting the future wreck he engineered.

  2. I remember John Kish looking at the tv camera and saying the Ford Center would pay for itself from day on. Nobody even had the balls to ask him how.
