The district is trying to use the income stream argument, and, as we are all aware, the investigation is still ongoing, and these issues have not been resolved.
I was living here when Gary Morse was paid $60 million for amenities that only cost him $7.5 million to build. Where I come from that is called a scam. People that complain about being scammed are told to move along, nothing to see here.
