It already is a huge burden on the taxpayer. I do hope this project will generate some money for the city. I hate that we always seem to be shelling out money for things that really wont bring us any money back. I understand being over budget, that is how everyone gets the lowest bid, but to be twice is much is just crazy. I hope this is nice and brings in some badly needed revenue.
