"It is my opinion that a tax-exempt non-retail entity has ABSOLUTELY NO <br> BUSINESS (pun intended) being located in the heart of the Central Business <br> District."--Californian Tommy Hansen<br> <br> I disagree, as usual, with Tom. <br> <br> There are many nonprofit organizations and services provided downtown for the poor and disabled members of our community. In addition we also have the art gallery, the Democratic Headquarters, a fire station, churches, the police station, the high school, and even a free bulletin board and playground for the kids all located downtown. Downtown should not JUST be about profit and tax collection. If we as a community want downtown to be for everyone and serve as a focal point for our community, then downtown should be a place that provides a variety of services for everyone, even things we ourselves may not engage in. If downtown was only occupied by locally owned taxpaying retail establishments then it would not be a
focal point for the entire community. <br> <br> Take Care,<br> <br> Donovan J Arnold <br><br><b><i>Tom Hansen <idahotom@hotmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> It is my opinion that a tax-exempt non-retail entity has ABSOLUTELY NO <br>BUSINESS (pun intended) being located in the heart of the Central Business <br>District.<br><br>Simply because a lame commission cannot see the forest through the trees <br>does not mean that I must roll over and play dead.
