We should have made the bank eat this one. They could have foreclosed on it, sold it....to who I don't know....since it obviously was a pooooorrrrr "buisness" decision. It was a money loser from the start.

there's obviously fire. Supposing this were all true and the facts would stand up in court, then as concerned citizens we have an obligation to see that those responsible are held accountable. Shoddy record keeping or not, shadowy spheres of influence, and the like are but a few of the many reasons this whole debacle from start to finish needs a complete airing.
On the other hand, if this whole conspiracy is a falsehood, then why have the powers that be have not gone public with a full disclosure. Could it be that the current and two previous city administrations do not want the public to truly know how our city is run? Surely this is not the case.
I would like to publicly challenge the new City Council to release a complete disclosure from the conception of the Tennis Center until the decision was made to pay the debt. Afterall, it's our tax money we are talking about. I for one have heard much of the rhetoric on both sides and believe it to be high time we put this thing to rest.
How about it?

Just what you asked for has been demanded by several others, but the trouble is that no one with the power or knowledge to issue such information wants to do it.
I'll never understand how the lawyers for both sides got a judge to accept such an agreement unless no judge was ever consulted!
The Peachtree National Bank made the first mistake, Then the cover-up began.
The fact that an "authority" was involved made it easier to do. The authority was dis-banned, after board resignations, and a new authority formed.
The new authority owes nothing, just the city!
You were here weren't you?
One can't even to this day get an accounting in detail of the current running of the Amphitheater and the Tennis Center separately.
Just income and expenses for both--no hint of any balances owed. Don't know how town has this on the books! Probably a bond.

Oh boy, my good friend Scott Bradshaw exposed the whole thing. Scott, a man of integrity, showed the whole thing was a scam. It was all over the newspapers.

Scott was the vice chariman of the authority.

Bradshaw was on the authority most of the time and never said anything either. He was as aware as the rest that there was no budget, no plan, nothing. It wasn't until outside auditors Mauldin and Jenkins came in and said that it was an accounting nightmare did he step down. There was a lot leading up to that point that he seemingly ignored like the rest.

The Airport Auth wasn't exactly running well either. They were borrowing short-term money at high interest/loan-shark rates until Lenox came up with a plan and got all their debt consolidated into much lower interest around 2000 or so.

The supporters of both of the main candidates embarassed themselves on these forums, IYAM.

I got nailed too. I'm not sure it was a wise thing to post that though.

You might want to edit your post before someone responds and you give that away to some nutcase.

I think you're right, Git.
EDITED

Great Job.
