I find it horrible what Mayor Servian said in SRQ and then did not do with Pineapple Square. This is not acceptable from a commission that keeps discussing accountability!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11302996.post-1139688268185919352006-02-11T15:04:00.000-05:002006-02-11T15:04:00.000-05:00I can tell you that all the business people in dow...I can tell you that all the business people in downtown are not thrilled. Many were sold on the project but the deal the city just made was not made public and many spoke in support without knowing how bad the deal was to the city. People are still confused what is being asked for because no honest dialog is taking place, it is spin city when it comes to the commissioners comments or Simons presentations. Commissioners are puppets in this game and they do not even realize how they are being played!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11302996.post-1139675382524884562006-02-11T11:29:00.000-05:002006-02-11T11:29:00.000-05:00So if Shelin believes that then why isn't the deve...So if Shelin believes that then why isn't the developer paying $5.5 for the State Street lot?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11302996.post-1139666908903530582006-02-11T09:08:00.000-05:002006-02-11T09:08:00.000-05:00Anyone who read the consultant's report to the com...Anyone who read the consultant's report to the commissioners would have had questions.A responsible person, challenged by the consequences of his actions, would have wanted to have substantiation for the unresolved questions raised by the consultants in the packet given to the commissioners.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11302996.post-1139665608945037792006-02-11T08:46:00.000-05:002006-02-11T08:46:00.000-05:00If you were responsible for making a serious decis...If you were responsible for making a serious decision on behalf of other people (your constituents), on the issue of the value of property, and you had a certified appraisal on the one side, and an opinion on the other, it seems you would want to ask for a certified appraisal from both sides.Then, if the two appraisals did not indicate a fair negotiable price, you would require a third appraisal...from a company with experience in defending its results in court.This is not an unusual scenario.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
