We have been played.
Can't build in the West Harbour because we don't have enough money to build an entire stadium. Now we have enough money, but it will be wasted at IW where there is no economic upside. It's all fake.
We spent nearly $9,000,000 acquiring land in the West Harbour. Remediation costs for residential make it unviable as a site. I am told they are looking at putting in retail (read strip plazas) along Stuart. Nice. For this Future Fund money was spent?
The Bobs wanted to hug each other when they announced the IWS "compromise".
I'd like the Bob we elected to give us a big hug and tell us he's sorry for screwing up this deal. Fred did have it right. the West Harbour for both velodrome and stadium is the place we should be investing our money. Taking a bet on naming rights for a velodrome, when we couldn't even get one person to offer up money for a CFL stadium? Please. Welcome to the Hamilton Casino where all bets are bad ones.
Call and write your Councillor. They all look foolish at the moment. Why is this news breaking now and why did Chris Murray (and/or Bob Bratina) try to get Council to meet 30 minutes after he dropped this bombshell? Thanks to Ferguson and Clark for going public with their concerns.
I want a Councillor to ask who knew what when and why it wasn't shared with Council and with citizens months ago. I hope one of the 15 of them will ask these questions tomorrow at the GIC meeting.
