In response to John Hazelhursts C4C Extreme measures City Sage Article ..Everyone take a deep breath and step back to see what John actually said. 1. Desperate people will buy drinks for CSBJ journalists. 2. When desperate people drink they threaten 3. When they threaten, it is always with something they cannot deliver 4. Then, they switch to the Gazette. The key to this puzzle is that he offered no new information, did not use any data and talked personalities not issues. He has never admitted that he knows he does not have all the information to make an informed decision. He also did not mention nor blame any of the County Commissioners. On Tues., the commissioners not only guaranteed a third party financial audit but also another legal audit. Commissioner Glenn, a lawyer, was present during the issues involving the requirement for a citizen vote on a convention center. The City Attorney gave her opinion that it did not require a vote, but did not list any legal references. Because the C4C application clearly indicates the stadium will be used for other purposes besides sports, it is not just a sports complex. I see a legal challenge in the city’s future. The city should expect a few of them. A smart move would have been to suggest a compromise. In return for support of the AFA, UCCS and USOC museum we would be offered a vote on the stadium and garage. This way the applicant would ‘have to’ be transparent with the attendance numbers. Until then, pundits like John will throw fear and loathing in all directions. After all, no one really understands, do you? The next round is on John!
