Re: City Hall.  There was a very large, vocal group of Eugene residents that did not want the former City Hall torn down.  The City Council was not given anywhere near the true costs of the re-building of the building and they were not ""kept in the loop"" about large increases in the cost of the project.  As I saw it, it was as if the elected members of the City Council did not even exist; I found this to be very disturbing.
