Mobile Council approves $80M bond for museum.

Posted on November 17, 2009

According to the Mobile Press Register, The Mobile City Council voted 6-1 this morning to take out more than $80 million in bonds to refinance old debt and help pay for the construction of GulfQuest, an interactive maritime museum on the downtown waterfront. What no petition drive?

What Pensacola makes hard, others do so much easier.
