Jason Goray says: "A rose by another name would smell as sweet. A library with another $15 mil of non-taxpayer money in it will smell even sweeter, (almost) regardless of the name".
JM: That's something I do not and never will agree with. What is this urge to spend as much money as possible as though money is the main way to get quality. You hear that from corporate stooges when they pay tens of millions of bucks to people who happen to go to the right parties. I think we need a FUNCTIONAL library and we need to build it on a BUDGET. If only to convince the library board they can LIVE on a budget! And to dabble in "naming rights" simply because they couldn't make do with $110 of taxpayer funds is just indulgent. Hey, the sports commission built a pretty good stadium with the dough they got. Certainly the intellectuals on the library board shouldn't say "I can't". ===== Jim Mork Cooper Neighborhood Minneapolis ------------- Paul Wellstone: Best friend Minneapolis ever had in Washington. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
