The Channels: Chris Medlock called it

[AVERAGE JOE]

Wow, say what you want about Medlock (and on this forum, we have... and then some), but the man was absolutely spot on correct about the river plan back on August 27.

He wrote in his blog about how the 4 tenths of a cent of Vision 2025 sales tax that was passed for Boeing, but never collected, has been burning a hole in the County's pockets for three years. They feel as though they're entitled to that money, and have bee desperate for something to spend it on.

Here's his blog entry. Well worth reading.

And what did we read in the paper this morning? Randi Miller saying she was behind the plan, that we should finance it with a county sales tax, and geee.... we have that .4 cents of Vision 2025 that was approved but never used.

Absoultely nailed it. 100% on the nose.

He has two more entries on the Channels that provide a great deal of insight IMO:
- How the presentation went (not smooth)
- Real estate implications and how to sniff out a bait and switch
