Is there a proper spelling?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712163977315292252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37877540.post-41865959563074836782010-02-20T09:52:24.130-05:002010-02-20T09:52:24.130-05:00I am hopeful that the Cincinnati street car projec...I am hopeful that the Cincinnati street car project might kick off some economic development activity. I think it could actually be a project that brings people into the the city who will buy or rent apartments and townhomes near the proposed line. On its face, it appears to be a wiser investment than a football stadium for a professional franchise. I wish more people would comment with ideas about how capital improvement bill money should be used in Cincinnati. It is a big deal, and the money should be used wisely. A few years ago, some was earmarked for the Classical Music Hall of Fame in Cincinnati. Whatever happened to that?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712163977315292252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37877540.post-92061122348560901342010-02-20T09:45:58.226-05:002010-02-20T09:45:58.226-05:00Cincinnati streetcars = waste of money.

Union Terminal needs capital improvement money to pay for repairs for the Strickland/Obama high speed choo-choo coming down the tracks. Mallory and the street car crowd want millions from capital improvement funding. So there you have it, Bill. We are in hock for the stadium, we need money right now for the train, and we want to go into more debt for the streetcars. I would pay off the stadium first. The DCI/downtown crowd created the stadium mess in the first place. Her guiding principle must be: Be careful what you wish for.NumbersCrunchernoreply@blogger.com
