lowball numbers again

Seven million is the lowball starter price on a new gym, to get us involved. Remember the 150k CC addition? The one that would up costing us more tha THREE times that original figure? The bathrooms were supposed to cost 200k at the start, a generous figure even then. The numbers for that project are now approaching 500k and it is STILL not functional, two years later. The lowball approach has worked so well in the past they are trying it again. They will continue to use that approach until WE stop them. Those two projects alone have caused over 600k of our tax monies to disappear, over and above the usual and customary costs. Their response to this? Ignore it and it will go away, like it NEVER happened. Could ANY business survive spending like that? Of course not, and neither can we. Can the whole crew! Start with the City Manager.
