Henry Administration drops the ball, again
Posted by Mike Sylvester - 1/22/10 @ 8:52 pm - Filed Under City Council, Local Politics
When Mayor Tom Henry first unveiled his grand plan to purchase a building for City Government his proposal estimated that the renovation costs would be 7.3 million dollars. When City Council approved the purchase they were told renovation costs would be approximately 7.3 million dollars.
A couple of weeks ago the architects revised the renovations costs up to more than 11 million dollars.
Based on its performance to date I expect the Henry Administration to make large errors like this; however, I certainly hope that our City Council takes exception to this and provides some oversight on this matter.
It is completely unreasonable that the renovation cost estimate has increased by over 50% before anything has even been done.
I sure hope there is a strong candidate to vote for in the upcoming Mayors race because I really do not want to have to vote for Mayor Henry.
Mike

Where does Ft Wayne keep getting the money? Are they printing it?? You just keep spending and spending…..
Henry is looking at all the ways to increase taxes or create new ones.That has been their fallback.Instead of stopping the growth of government.But then why would I expect a progressive to limit growth!
