Apparently they save everyone who can't speak their way out of a box until the end. Somebody named Sober is rambling aimlessly.

Ahh.. Sober's point is that the assessment district increase is small compared to what it costs to do business. Apparently he used to pay 160,000 in rent and the increased assessment would've made it 161,000.

guess I'm not good at names..... I have trouble with the argument proposed that a minor league ballpark is gonna get this guy new employees... lotsa stretching the truth and hyperbole... we have a twentysomething lecturing the council on due diligence...

She was saying the whole thing was rushed.. I seem to remember this deal being worked on for months but that's just because I read the news.

The guy who's up now is a property manager. So far I've heard one speaker opposed and one for delaying and everyone else was for it, but I came in late.

Mayor is up.. I'm assuming she's for it.. ha.

I enjoy the suggestion that it's not punishing downtown property owners, it's simply deciding to not coddle downtown anymore..

Also thought it's interesting that Gomez is going to take a hard look at downtown services and how they are provided. (DTU) and also the statement that this could be the new DFEST main stage.

It's council discussion now.

Martinson wants to delay a week and says he didn't really know anything before Tuesday (he doesn't read the paper I guess) and that he hasn't had time to read his 8 page document that is posted above.

I read that document in less than 10 minutes this afternoon.  Seriously, is it that hard for him to READ?
