    I guess this means that the Convention Center has not been the driving catalyst for the hotel industry (other than PSP’s Marriott) that all the proponents were suggesting………..in the immortal words of Gomer Pyle…..”surprise, surprise, surprise”!!!!!

    Scott Martin’s proposal better get 100% buy-in while there is still a Convention Center to save!!

    The taxpayers will be on the hook for generations.
