Don Lane on Free Radio at 10 AM, Sunday February 13
Lane recently acknowledged publicly that he was paid $1200 by hotel supporters to back the hotel project.
Stop corporate Welfare!
Most have had disappointing returns, most notably San Jose which has only a third the revenue their Redevelopement Agency hacks predicted they would net.
Our city cannot afford to take on $30 million in debt to fund a for-profit hotel offering rooms for as high as $350 a night.
We have no business putting the city at that kind of risk. RDA funds by law must address blight (the West Coast hotel may be ugly, but its not blighted) and to build the affordable housing our community so desparately needs.
Re: Emergency SCRAP News Conference set for Mon. Feb. 14, 10am
First, the city is not doing anything at all to provide "funding" for the hotel. It is funding, and will own, the parking garage, which will soon serve the sanctuary visitor's center.
Second, convention centers have, as the writer above noted, flagged since both 9/11 and the advent of online meetings. Conference centers, though -- which are an entire order of magnitude smaller -- are not only doing well, but outstripping the rest of the hospitality industry.
In short, neither risk identified by the writer actually, in fact, exists.
