S.O.S. - Save Our Grassy Slopes

Wizard Shield, by Ivy Cartier

M and L vs H--> Heritage Plaza Event Space

THE BRIDGE IN the lower right corner (J) is the so-called Veterans Bridge (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14) approved because of 3,000 $75 donations (later 5,800) to the Medal of Honor Foundation --whose board included the publisher of The Chieftain and the District Attorney-- yet now having cost over $1.3 million paid for by an additional $660,000 of Colorado DOT federal ARRA stimulus funds. Is this good old boy politics? Lots (M) and (L) are the so-called grassy slopes, destined to become Borderlands Park! Vote here.

"The Global Spectrum team at the Pueblo Convention Center will work cooperatively with the Urban Renewal Authority of Pueblo to educate the public on the important role our facility plays in Pueblo's economic development in hopes of passing the expansion vote in November 2008."

                              Pueblo Convention Center
                              "Renewed & Refreshed"
They LOST the Convention Center expansion vote THREE TIMES!
The Council unanimously (including the "liberal" majority) slipped through the allocation for the bridge on the consent agenda. Now they want more stimulus, tourism, TIF, and PEDCO dollars to pay for rejected convention center space. If any are granted (see #9 above) the voters' will is trampled. The right wants a "Trail of Valor" extending from The Four Statues through a Convention Center mausoleum to the Veterans Bridge to their new privately funded Center for American Values on Main St. with its embarrassing entrance at Riverwalk level (see below). Officials issued a plan to build a "Heritage Plaza Event Space" (see #7 above) but A WEEK LATER they put all the space they had promised up for sale.
None of this is what the majority in Pueblo wants. What part of NO did our public servants not understand?
