I am no expert on anything, but looking forward, I would predict Lane County voters will never vote to pay over $100 million dollars for a new courthouse, even with the $8 million infusion. Can't that $8 million be used for a retrofit of the current courthouse? 
So yesterday the city had a workable city hall on a full block. It is proposed that "tomorrow" the city will have a small new city hall and the county will have a huge new courthouse. 
I really, really think destroying the old city hall was a mistake.
