What a waste of money, buying the Tapco building with grant funds! We could have done so much more with those funds!
While we are at it, tear down the Davis Park building too! It serves NO purpose but to remind us that the city leaders have NO imagination or drive to do better at ALL!
All of this talk about doing something with these buildings is a wash and swindle! People should have their heads removed for such mismanagement of government funds and resources!
Tax money wasted again and again, and we are supposed to be happy about it too!
