As I had argued previously we now have a positive of roughly $308,000 for the City by the cancelling of the Pedestrian Bridge.... http://georgewimmer.blogspot.com/2011/02/pedestrian-bridge-project-needs-to-end.html
The first community meeting was well attended and there were several pointed questions - the second meeting had only 4 people in attendance and even though the business community was specifically invited no one single business owner or manager attended. I will assume that the business community must be completely satisfied by the direction of the City considering not a single one attended.
The general impression is from the meetings along with emails and phones is that the vast majority wants to maintain the current service levels....

Why should a business owner show up to a fixed meeting? You let Hardware Hank go out of business.... They were almost a 100 years old in Isanti. You are taxing all of them away. Greed will take a toll on us all.
well the Hardware Hank has changed hands several times and they were forced out more by macro market forces just like Ace was in Cambridge. You are terribly misinformed on taxes.... We have cut the tax levy 40% since I came into office.... Our taxes are currently 15% lower than Cambridge.... there is nothing fixed about these meetings... the first meeting had a number of very strong statements made....
Mr. Mayor, You should check your facts on who was and was not at the second community meeting. Landmark Bank was represented at the meeting.
If you were there from Landmark then I clearly did not recognize......
