Email sent to Rachel Blakeman in response to her press release on the Alliance Breakfast this morning:

Rachel,

What specifically has Barry contributed to Fort Wayne in the last year?  I don’t see a single building or other improvement that they can claim ANY contributions toward it’s construction.  Can you help me out so I can understand how the complete failure of ALL they promised can be recognized for “investment in our comunity”?

And don’t try to tell me that they invested ANY OF THEIR MONEY in suites at Parkview Field!  They received payment in advance for the lease of all the suites, far in excess of the cost for those that they said they would fund- so it wasn’t their cash being used.

And Parkview paid the first year of the naming rights cost up front.

Why didn’t the Alliance recognize area taxpayers for the huge “investment” that they are making over the next 20 to 30 years to pay for the Lincoln Life Parking Garage and Parkview Field?  They sure should have been recognized in that list!
