Of Interest

Over the weekend, the Register-Star ran an ad in the print version of the paper for this Thursday's DRI Public Meeting #3. The text of the ad describes the meeting as "an Open House to learn more about the draft DRI plan" and goes on to say: "We look forward to sharing the recommendations developed during the community process and with the Local Planning Committee." The ad features a rendering of the Robert Taylor House re-imagined as a restaurant, one of five projects involving properties owned by the Galvan Foundation recently proposed for DRI funding.

    Do we know who paid for that ad and how much it cost? Who created it? Who approved it? Do we know the budget of the DRI committee?

      I expect all the expenses during the DRI planning phase--including the ad--come from the $300,000 earmarked for planning that gets subtracted from the $10 million.

      Yes. And isn't that public money? And don't we have a right to know how it's spent?
