Well, the deadline for the Ingenuity Fest 2007's 'what would YOU do with the Breuer Tower?' has been moved to accommodate international interest (and possibly to get all the lazy Clevelanders involved somewhat so Steve Litt doesn't have to write an article about how we don't even care about things going on in our own backyard).
If one were so inclined to look for information on the subject, one could click here, just ignore the deadline on that flyer, AIA Cleveland does try to be on top of things, this one was just a quick change.
Of course, with the slimy as all get out way that the County is attempting to raise the money for their admin building project one would have to wonder if maybe there is anyway to knock sense into that infernal machine. Seriously, am I the only person suspect of a tax increase that doesn't HAVE TO BE VOTED ON BY THE GENERAL POPULATION in which money is earmarked for a highly contested COUNTY BUILDING which already reeks of corruption and poor decision making? I think the idea of a convention center and medical mart in the city is fine. Good. Bring people here. Heck, if we get a convention center maybe the Rock Hall could host something in this town. Maybe a one of a kind medical mart could tap into our educational prowess and put this region on the map for something other then being poor. Just don't try to tack on a rider to fund some awful project that will be a black eye for the city.
Although the whole debacle does seem like good practice for someone if they are making a run for the capital. Pork barrel spending on our small town seems like a bad idea. A friend of mine keeps wondering, how much money could the county save if they cut out some of the deadwood in their current administration? I don't know. Maybe enough for another Silver Line?
Just sayin' is all.
