I find the entire city government to be disrespectful of the citizens who pay their taxes.  They have spent close to $5 million dollars for an empty lot.  What else could have been done with that money?  Blaming the city manager, who no doubt has his hand in this, is ignoring the fact that we ELECT a city council and mayor who ultimately should be helping steward our resources.  I think we should just forget about a city hall and the EMX and build with what ever money we have a homeless facility.  That facility would not only provide a place to eat, sleep, and bathe but other resources that so many people need.  This would actually make a difference NOW in people lives.   The entire government needs to get its collective head out of the clouds and dreams and focus on needs.
