Submitted by admin on Sat, 04/07/2012 - 1:48pmJust because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it.
That's the basis of the argument being put forward by some of the more vocal supporters of the Carson City Center Project, aka Nugget Project, as they try to fight back the attempt to put the issue on the November ballot.
They would be wise to follow their own advice.
Column: Has City Center been judiciously considered?
Submitted by admin on Mon, 02/13/2012 - 7:07pmA vocal minority’s intermittent cheerleading promotes the massive City Center project. Their objective: replace the city library with a +$75 million, three-times-the-size library complex just east of the Nugget Casino. (The ‘official’ $49 million cost curiously excludes 30 years of interest payments.)
Absent from this well-intentioned, but ill-conceived project are viability, necessity and prudence.
