Well I can say I thought we were closer then last place. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Never did trust they had enough money to pay for this.

i like a nice party as much as the next guy...but if you can't afford to have it, you shouldn't have it.

it was a gamble and i'm glad the decision was taken out of the hands of the irresponsible people who run this city. our politicians need to stop gambling with money that is not theirs...

maybe they'll actually spend our tax dollars on programs that us citizens can use.
