City held hostage for 542 days

   February 29, 2008

The Community Maritime Park construction will generate 1,500 jobs. The estimated weekly payroll is between $1 and $1.5 million per week – money that would be circulating through our community.

It has been 542 days since the city approved the park referendum. Ground has yet to be broken. Don’t blame the CMPA board. Blame the city council that sits on the sidelines. We didn’t elect the CMPA board to lead this city. We elected the city council. Other cities with similar referendums will have their parks finished this April.

BTW: 542 days equals 1 year, 5 months, 24 days or

* 46,828,800 seconds
* 780,480 minutes
* 13,008 hours

Tick, tick, tick….
