EDC votes to demo Tiger Stadium

[Fnemecek]

Bulk of what cash, they don't have any.

Oh, really???

Who was it then who paid the City of Detroit $350,000 as a security deposit to get the MOU signed in the first place?

Who is that has been paying $12,000 per month to secure and maintain the property for a couple of years now?

The OTSC has the cash in hand to complete this project, with the exception of the portions that are currently working their way through the federal bureaucracy.

Ernie Harwell is the one that initially got City Council to convince the DEGC to hold off on demolition.

Wow! You haven't been paying any attention to this project at all, have you?

It was the residents of the Corktown neighborhood - you know, the ones who vote in City Council elections - who convinced the City Council to put a stop to this madness. It was one particular member of the City Council [[JoAnn Watson, if I recall correctly) who convinced Ernie Harwell to get involved with the OTSC. Demolition was already held off long before Mr. Harwell had any involvement with the project.

So it wasn't S. Gary Spicer, who happens to be Ernie Harwell's attorney, who got Ernie Harwell involved, it was Joann Watson? And you're accusing me of not paying attention?

So, demolition had not been started when Ernie Harwell went to City Council and asked them to get DEGC to hold off and work with the Conservancy?

So, according to you, demoltion of 75% of Tiger Stadium is considered "holding off"?

You may want to think about hopping off that short yellow bus.

Less than 1% of a 33 million dollar project is nothing.
