Here you find a bunch of "Downtown Supporters"( seriously, REAL ONES,actually INVESTED their OWN MONEY,some live downtown,and many, former LarryBots!!)

So, they are trying to block LarryBoy/MikeDunn's "vision" for downtown..."...Dunn called the Friends efforts to secure historic designation for the building "silly" and "a waste of the community's time"."

See, it's just more of this administration's determination to spend money(they DON'T HAVE,over and ABOVE the hotel/motel/beverage tax first instituted to pay for the MetroCentre) on entertainment venues...(WTF, don't we HAVE a PARK DISTRICT???? Seems that's THEIR mission) Money THAT SHOULD BE SPENT ON PUBLIC SAFETY AND PUBLIC WORKS!!

The whole mismanagement of the Metro Centre rehab money would seem to plop down in LarryBoy's lap...HE appointed the board,did he not? Always suspected this whole "RAVE" deal was a calculated effort to indirectly funnel more money to the IceHogPalace...the public was starting to grumble...we were told the refinancing/rehab meant the city would lessen the subsidy to the MC...THAT wasn't happening...heck let's change the NAME of the hand-picked "board" maybe the public won't realize more tax money is being dumped into the venue...

And besides, what makes Dunn a 'voice' for downtown??Near as I can tell, Dunn appears to be a realtor of "questionable scruples", (living somewhere NE Rockford, so much so, it could quite possibly be considered Loves Park or Roscoe.)
