Letter: CC-1, An irresponsible Action
A “Yes” vote on CC-1 will increase our Carson City debt to over $250 million in dire economic times. For what? Another library at a total debt over $4,500 for every man, woman and child in Carson City! San Bernardino, which just went bankrupt, has one-third that per person debt! What’s the need?
We already have 31 libraries - four separate public libraries, libraries in each of the 12 public schools, three museum libraries, 11 private school libraries and the Business Resource Innovation Center library. The present
Carson City Library is little used, and there is no plan for the building if it werevacated.
Our goal should be to make Downtown Carson a pleasant recreation center with shops and restaurants, not an expensive, unneeded playtoy for the Library Board!
Hopefully, rational people will vote NO on CC-1!
