Can some one explain to me/fourm in 10 bullet points or less. Why we had to get rid of the old DT library?
BTW if we don't build a new one and we have already bulldozed the old one, we face these charges. 1. We don't need one. 2. We didn't need one. 3. Or we're paying too much rent when we should have kept the old one. 4. The city voters, planners, admins and dreamers look like idiots. What happens if a dramatically scaled down library gets built now? What was all the fuss ($$$$$) about? How much money have we spent so far, with the possibility that we will build a quonset hut? 12 years of planning. Someone earlier asked today why the city is taking it on the chin at the legislature. The Strib opined similarly. Well this is today's lesson/answer.
