Ah..another Schieve tease. I remember the same schtick when she hinted at esports at the bowling stadium. I can appreciate enthusiasm however Bob Conrad framing the City culture as “toxic positivity” nailed it. Last council meeting the public heard from the mayor, again, how government spends “loves to spend too much time on process” and takes too long to do anything. She always wants to toss process out the window but then Turney stands and uses all the buzz words in process, I.e. “what’s before this body today” and “what staff needs from the body today is direction to….”, etc. And of course, Mayor opines long past her 3 minutes to clap back at opponents specifically naming “the Alicia Barbers of this town” when pontificating on the Lear. The entire reason for government is PROCESS so that everyone must follow the same guidelines, same rules, same, same. Mayor just does not understand governance as a voting member of council.
I can think of three properties right in the downtown that are huge, under-utilized, and cost the city lots of money. The National Bowling Stadium, Ballroom, and Events Center. The awful Reno City Council and bad neighbor Jeff Jacobs will get a large outdoor festival grounds that can only be used from May to October and will require tons of parking. Not only that, the GLOW Plaza does shows too, not many...
It doesn't make sense. Over 8 years of vacant lots so we can get more vacancies. Who is gong to come to Reno to play at this J Entertainment albatross? Who is going to come to see those performers? Sacramento residents?
Scratching my head in wonder. I will attend and participate in the Ward 1 NAB, but bought and sold Kathleen Taylor ($5,000 contribution from Jacobs lawyer, etc.) won't pass on the chance for more graft.
