Are Citizens Being Bilked On Beale

I don't want to be a albatross, or as the bearer of bad news be called a "spook at the door." For me it has to do a lot with a little thing called "facts." Unfortunately when we look at them objectively, they don't always lead us where we want to go. Some people are all excited at the prospect of a big payday in a matter that hasn't been solved in twenty-four years. I think we may be finally getting to the long awaited end to this saga, but I don't think it will have the end many people expect. When the smoke clears nobody will become rich that already isn't.

At last public accounting the city owed Performa Inc., two and a half million dollars. That was almost twenty years ago. I would be willing to bet, that number went up before it went down. When you take into account management fees, operating costs and the money owed "Performa" for the cost of street development, the city's payday might not be that much.

    I think John Elkington owes the city money, but not as much as people alledge. I hope this whole thing is soon settled, so we can stop hearing about it.
