A Friends of Belle Isle Aquarium board member informs me, "...Joann Watson's office said it was the Mayor's doing. She has a call into the Mayor's office and is trying to get to the bottom of it for us. It seems very weird...."

That's all I have for now.

So let me get this straight:
1. FOBI [[A damn good organization) says that CC refused money from the feds. With nothing to support this you post this.
2. After a follow up you blindly believe JoAnn Watson [[of all people) that Mayor Bing refused the money.

I'm a proponent of facts so maybe before finding out that the Easter Bunny refused the funds we should get some concrete facts.

The truth is I called the feds and told them no thanks.
