And that's sad.
One of the products of original MAPS, and then MAPS for Kids, what the convergence of citizen pride, trust in government, business willingness to invest, which occurred following the fruition of original MAPS & MAPS for Kids being profoundly realized. Today, with publicly thrown cheap shots all around, one wonders if that worthwhile alliance between government, business, and citizens that has led to so much good for the city might be in harms way.
Enough for now. I'm not done thinking, but I'm troubled for my city about how this deal is publicly progressing.

I've wondered myself if we simply cannot keep ourselves as a society from continually repeating the past. We just never seem to learn.
Depressing.
