Great perspective on the failure to tart up Peary Court and our deer-in-the-headlights inability to do much else in the way of benefit to local and national improvement projects. (Not that tarting up Peary Court would be an improvement.)
Am I the only one that reads pro-Wal-Mart comments in the citizen’s voice and think they came right out of Wal-Marts public relations department?
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
You bare saying exactly what I have been saying for the past 4 years, since moving to Key West. There is plenty of money for “affordable housing,” IF the city would stop wasting the money they have! In addition to building monuments to government, they need to trim their size and the amount paid to those that are left!
Also, all Wal-Mart will do nothing for the community, except add to the lack of affordable housing! The pay for their workers is one of the worst in the United States! They use their BILLIONS to build monuments to themselves using their TAX DEDUCTIBLE Trusts, instead of helping their employees and the communities.
The latest and largest example is the multi-million dollar ART MUSEUM built in Bentonville, AR. Alice Walton’s Trust paying the majority of this. What does a town of 40,000 people need with a “world class” Museum of American Art? The money could have been used to build the new schools that are needed, instead of the Tax Payers having to foot the bill.
