Many did not want the old City Hall taken down and were very vocal about it.  If the City Manager had given a truer cost to the building of the new City Hall, the Council would have never voted to tear down the old one ( the old bait and switch routine.)  Voters will never vote to pay over $100 million for a new courthouse even with 8
million.  There is not even a clear title to the land because of the Skinner deed.
