I think the no vote will be more than expected, but this is going through.
On the plus side, a lot of construction workers will be going back to work. On the down side, IMO, this will be the next White Elephant of the downtown area. It might go bonkers for 2-5 years, then the newness factor will wear off. Then they can sell the naming rights to the O'Brien Automotive Group or put up some cell phone towers for an additional revenue stream.
I hope everyone is just as excited when the tax increase for the sewer upgrade comes along.
UPDATE: I've been talking to quite a few people about this. One of these was a person whose place of employment really is hoping this happens, and he's not so confident. Other people have said flat out that this is not the time to do this.
And most importantly, my wife said it's not going to happen.
I'm starting to change my mind about the outcome.
Most of the people I talk to either are against the museum or just don't really care. And me being for the museum, I don't have any ammo to convince them, other than "Big IMAX."
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya, after you updated. I don't think this has the steam to get through. I reckon people are going to see "Tax" and punch no.
Which doesn't really bother me either.
