Convention Center In Retrospect

Week after week I witnessed the abuse that Dick [Shellenberger] and Molly [Henderson] took at the Meetings. Me, I would have walked off the job and said whatever.

It is not easy to find a person to be the third commissioner. The overall atmosphere was like night and day after Shaub left.

In all respect, Ms. Nelson attended some of the LCCCA meetings to listen and get an idea of the project, knowing that after December she was gone.

This Center is what it is and it is going to get built. The board now has to get it done as cost effectively and timely as possible.

Looking back at the past board members of John Frey, Joseph Morales, the gentleman from the water department, Mr. Swenger, even the director and of course Mrs. Ware, all were the wrong people to initiate this Authority. That is why this project is a mess.

When I heard Mr. Morales say that he did not need to read the contracts that Stevens and Lee drew up for the board (when Douglass said she refused to sign anything without reading it first and approving it), I was disgusted. Ms. Nelson will probably add the same quality as Douglass to this board. We need to wait and see and realize that this project is what it is.
