“Jay knows it's not the last time, at least I'll be asking. So go ahead, sir.”
“And Jay knows I'm as blunt as they come, but I really feel with taxpayer money, now that we just have the Civic Center, we don't have the Fort Idaho Center. I realize Fort Idaho Center has lots of needs, but I am really strongly an advocate for Auditorium District, which I think this commission is doing a wonderful job. A couple people just told me the other day that go there all the time, that they just feel like they're really coming into their own. But I feel like the Civic Center needs to be paid off in full as much as possible, as long as there's funds coming in from the auditorium…”
“So I'm just curious, where do you think these funds that are coming from the Auditorium District should be going?”
“We had agreed to fund that. We talked about it for the last two years. So you'd rather have taxpayers than a hotel?”
“Okay, I will do just a little argument because the Ford Idaho Center was not a done deal, which CWI, I think, is doing a wonderful job, but that was not a done deal when the auditorium district was passed.”
“The balance I've been told, Morgan, you're correct. The balance I've told at this point in time is $1.1 million.”
