Message: [QUOTE="Fishy, post: 5176141, member: 38"] Connecticut will just never be honest with itself about the civic center. These effectively-municipally controlled venues do not make money and it’s hard to argue for investment when something a) does not make money and b) the investment does not translate into votes. Worse, they’re afraid to cede control of it to anyone who might make a profit because it would make them look bad….so we get half-measures. The answer for the civic center is to do what Baltimore did with CFG Bank. Let Oak View handle it from top to bottom. Get out of their way. Get the losses off the books and enjoy the tax revenue.
