Golf Course Follies, continued......

Today, The Morning Call's QCD published the Mayor's response to the charge that his handpicked, under questionable circumstances purveyor of fine golf course food was being treated more generously than the previous tenant. In essence, he said that the City had not done it's part to ready the facility. Okay, so Brew Works, couldn't open because the City was incompetent. Why couldn't we get the work done? If the work were done, would the Brew Works have been able to open? How much would it have cost if we outsourced the work? How much rent would we have received, or penalty?

I am not sure that the Mayor's answer actually makes it better or clearer. Why did we let a contract that we couldn't uphold our end on? How did the building the city owns get so bad that it needed so much work to get brought up to code? Pawlowski has raided buildings and booted tenants for less. What goes on here? Don't we hold ourselves up to the same standard as the taxpayers?
