Saturday's (08/05/06) News & Record's front page demonstrates why the Coliseum's War Memorial Auditorium Bond is a loser. Westover Church renovates their facility for $28 Million. They do more with less money.
So where is the extra money going? Or who is in charge?
The sad part os the line: And if the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra needs a temporary home during the proposed upgrade of War Memorial Auditorium? There's a hydraulic stage lift that lowers a section of the pulpit to a ground-level docking area big enough to unload a semi-truck.
Why not just close the coliseum's tax hole and let the Symphony play at the church. The church gets rental fees and the citizens of Greensboro are saved a bond issue.
