Do we really need a new downtown Library?
We couldn’t be in a worse time in our modern history, locally and nationally, with the economic downturn not sure if it wants to “level off” anytime soon. While we should be watching our spending—we seem to invent ways to spend more money. The latest fiasco is the construction of the once needed downtown library. We don’t need the facility. The internet has changed our lives. Book stores are losing business, newspapers are going out of business, and the TV industry is threatened because all the info we would ever want to have is on our laptop or home PC…Rise up, let your voices be heard–don’t let the bureacrats add more dirt atop our unwanted financial graves….Let me hear from you!!!
I just noticed the two tower cranes set up this week.
I know very little about the new Library, but I heard it is to cost $80 million for a 10 story building
gee, thats 10 million per floor, what is it going to be made from italian marble, gold, and emeralds?
Guess city of SD is pretty good at spending the Citizens cash.
heads should roll over this one…with the internet (our libraries of tomorrow) we really don’t need the faciility…..as much as we ask, beg or scream for, our voices are not being heard……God Bless America! thanks for your comments…..keep]em comin’…..
RIGHT ON, BUCK!!! sorry it took me so long to answer….your email slipped through the cracks…our city fathers are a bunch of mutha’s…! they are in over their heads to special interests and wouldn’t, no couldn’t, see the trees if they were living in the forest~
