Minor Repairs Made to City Commission's $2,300,000 Boondoggle~ La Casa del Nylon

From the editor:  After several months of sporting a broken window on the 13th St. side, leaving the building open to the elements, at least a temporary repair has been made with sheets of plywood blocking the opening to the taxpayer asset,  La Casa del Nylon at 1305 E. Adams St. 

The previously untrimmed palm tree on the Adams St. side, that was wedged into the awning, has been trimmed.  It appears a piece of moulding in back of the palm tree has been removed to allow some room for growth.  

The homeless couple, living under the awning for the last couple months, were not there today(4/21/14)

Now, if Mayor Tony Martinez or anyone on the City Commission can come up with a semi-plausible reason why this unnecessary building was purchased with taxpayer money for at least double its actual worth, we would love to hear it.

Guys, you've had two years now to formulate some sort of rationale.  Why did you buy it and include the purchase in a 20 year Certificate of Obligation that falls on the shoulders of our children and grandchildren?

"The cat got your tongue, City Commission and Mayor Tony?"
