Hello,
| am a Ward 6 citizen but | am choosing to email you all. Please vote no to the Performing Arts Center. This is going to be
a huge waste of taxpayer money. Put that money into improving schools and roads and affordable housing. All the money
was supposed to be raised privately and now because no one wants to donate, you are taking the money from the city.
Every day | see parents complaining that the schools gave them defective equipment for their children for school. | know
many of them were returned broken but lets take the money the city would spend on this horrible project and get what the
schools need.
Also, affordable housing is a must. All the new apartments built lately are so expensive. How can a single parent or retired
person afford rent like that. You are forcing people to move into unsafe situations. What about building a big dog park with
some of that money. Or here's a crazy idea, give us homeowners a break during these difficult times. | sure could use a
break.
| know this email won't make a difference but I had to at least say my peace.
Thanks,
Ellen Valade
