The Chamber is rumored to recieve Hotel tax revenues for "Promotions".<br />Hundreds of thousands (of our dollars) are being used to sell us this MAPS in behalf of the "Boys".<br />None of these projects is coming within a half mile of Downtown Airpark--Says Kirk Humphries the owner--a half mile ? Four wide trips around a football field ?<br />This MAPS--when the complete truth is known, smells to high heaven and smacks of "Old School" Chicago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145088337107136565.post-30961801517921766562009-11-23T09:07:00.214-08:002009-11-23T09:07:00.214-08:00The offer to OCU Law School from the Fred Jones fa...The offer to OCU Law School from the Fred Jones family seemed out of place at the time, and now that I know more about it seems even more out of place. Why would OCU put millions of dollars into a building that they will never own? The Jones family will still retain ownership even after the millions have been spent on renovations. How often do you, as an individual, put money into an apartment that you rent and will never have a chance of owning? Hopefully never!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145088337107136565.post-678831540856623832009-11-19T07:12:33.133-08:002009-11-19T07:12:33.133-08:00They must be getting concerned.
