Today's Poll!Jefferson City Council delves into details of conference center
Work session leaves some questions unanswered with Nov. 15 vote looming
Tuesday, November 9, 2010
The proposed funding package for a new conference center may have been gotten a unanimous vote from the conference center committee last month, but the tone was considerably different when the Jefferson City Council scrutinized it at a Monday night work session.
While Monday night was an exploratory meeting without votes, there were indications of concern on the part of some council members. Throughout the presentation, and especially afterwards, the council questioned aspects of the project.

The council needs to put the brakes on the Rasmussen/Lanwhere Convention Center. In this economy with such a dismal occupancy rate of existing motels, the last thing we need to spend tax dollars on is another motel and convention facility to compete with the privately-funded existing businesses.
This public convention center would surely drive Truman motel out of business, and put a severe strain on other local businesses who are trying to recoup their private investments.

This Conf-Center things is such a joke. Everything about it is a loss. The planed location, the design, the funding, it's all a joke. The people supporting this idea are really.....out of touch with reality...and that's a darn shame! Ya can't blame this mess on the Democrats, the Tea Party, the Republicans or Pres.Obama...no sir, this mess belongs to a Rasmussen and the rest of the JC Council. Somebody please help us!
