City refuses to forgive drum corps' $202,000 debt
By Peter Van Harten
The Hamilton Spectator
(Apr 20, 2006)

This may be a sad reality,
Quote
“Staff suggested it might be necessary to seize the hall, which is on city land and estimated to be
worth $1 million, to recover the band's debt with the city.”

But it’s time that Hamilton City starts being responsible for our tax dollars, not only in such areas but with HECFI including
re-examining the manner it has spent our dollars with the Hamilton Airport. The dumping of 2.6 million into HECFI, and planed
expenditure of another 18 million into the airport with little or no returns. With a further potential inferstructure expenditure
that could exceed 100 million. If the city worked as hard to bring in new business and enterprise improving the financial base,
as it does with investing our dollars in such areas that only may have a return, in the next decade, would make greater sense
in the long run.

What do you think..?
