And use that money for what, more Downtown projects or give it to someone to rehab a building downtown? Or maybe to be sure city council can pay that fancy lawyer for them to fight the HUD debacle?

All is seemingly quiet on Gilleland's Former Downtown/S. Main St./Older Neighborhoods Demolition Front.  Kind of reminds me of an early 1930"s talkies movie? Where are Joliet Jake and Elwood P. Blues when we need them most?  Of course, don't forget Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy plus Bonnie and Clyde.

We already have Bonnie(Judy) and Clyde(Doug) and Abbott and Costello are on city council. We get the (Who's on first?) act every time we ask questions at a council meeting!!!
