QUOTE OF NOTE
"Once the politics get taken out of the project officially breaks down, we expect more donors to jump on board,"
-Mike Ricke
Yes, Mr. Ricke, we already see that happening as the City Administration keeps misquoting the figures and cost for The Scribner Place Project.
Questions:
1. Why is the city going to be responsible for paying off a bond debt for YMCA?
2. Why will the City Attorney receive a percentage fee on this bond that includes YMCA?
3. When will you have the full 8 million dollars Mr. Ricke for the YMCA? Before the Mayor does the Bond Deal? Or after the Bonds are sold?
4. Is it legal to use our Edit Tax money and our property tax money to back up a bond that includes YMCA?
5. What happen with separation of Church & State?
Freedom Of Speech would like to ask you Mr. Ricke where do you get off making the statement "Does it make sense for the City Council to turn away a business that wants to build and expand in downtown New Albany?
Don't you agree Mr. Ricke it makes alot more sense for the City Council to fix the sewers first? Before we build and expand downtown?
Scribner Place has been a Political Project from the get-go. And who do you all think you are kidding! The bottom line is profit for the YMCA.
Without the commitment of back up property taxes for the "bond money" this project can not be done.
And Mr. Ricke will Scribner Place be needing a Tax Abatement?
