We do need an oversite investigation on all their actions. t. b - Tom Benigno Sun, 10 Aug 2008 09:49:19 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15430/2255/#comment-58161 To whom it may concern: Totally agree, I have been trying to remove the cancer, for 34 years. I'm getting close to accomplishing it. t. b - Tom Benigno Fri, 08 Aug 2008 15:10:40 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15430/2255/#comment-58130 No need Tom, the voters ARE the watchdogs... REMOVE the cancer! - Malcolm Fri, 08 Aug 2008 11:29:11 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15430/2255/#comment-58122 To whom it may concern: I received the final figures of the cost of the Grand Theater. It is 27 million. At $20.00 bucks per seat, every day for 365 days a year. After all the expenses of the loans and bills, they might make enough to pay the $6,500 per month for the cleaning bill. They might have to start showing Abbot and Costello movies. I recommend that we have watch dog commission to monitor the spending of the city, in all construction. t. b - Tom Benigno Fri, 08 Aug 2008 10:50:17 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15430/2255/#comment-58105 Uh oh, attack begins???? [quote]Smug as a bug in a rug Amy.[/quote] If that had not been placed, it showed good information from your point of view. No buildings of any houses at this time, that has been my consistent view for a long time. Economy is not ripe for it. Tolbert, Tucker and Ives, the rest of the city council, I feel should have checked up on the progress of the program at the Grand Theatre. Voters should check up on their city council elected officials to make sure everything is on par? Ask questions, too? Did Celeste say for a fact she does not support Keenan? Or the plans with Keenan? Would be interesting to see if she will or will not include it on her platform. (Website?) Not going to worry about whom to vote for, your vote matters more? Just wondered at the long silence on Keenan, not being "smug", just asking question? Do you really have Garamendi's full platform? Share it with us? I am not even sure what she supports anymore. Thanks. -amy - amy Fri, 08 Aug 2008 10:11:21 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15430/2255/#comment-58102 Smug as a bug in a rug Amy. I know for a fact that Garamendi would NEVER support an 8,000 home development no matter where it is placed. But IVES and Tolbert do support 9,350 homes that are at the farthest outpost, Tracy Hills (5,500) and Ellis (2,250 plus 1,600 whereabout unknown) That is SPRAWL and a desecration of our beautiful hillsides. Let's Save our Hills like Livermore did, let's promote concentric growth that saves energy and promotes transit instead of automobile traffic. Tracy Press never came back with the numbers on whether it was 8,000 or 800. Don't know the details but I do know that when the whole thing began two or three other developers besides the Souza/Serpa went to the council and offered to buy the RGA's for more than Souza/Serpa was offering. IVES and Tolbert told them to take a hike. - Malcolm Fri, 08 Aug 2008 09:52:27 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15430/2255/#comment-58080 LOL!!!! Dave Hardesty! :D -amy - amy Fri, 08 Aug 2008 07:30:26 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15430/2255/#comment-58072 amy Well Obama took a vacation to watch the Olympics, perhaps they did the same. ;) Dave Hardesty - Dave Hardesty Fri, 08 Aug 2008 07:15:31 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15430/2255/#comment-58059 Noticed the deathly silence on the mention of Keenan in the other article... where did the supporters for their favorite candidate go??? Did you hear anything TRN or did I miss something? -amy - amy Fri, 08 Aug 2008 06:38:18 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15430/2255/#comment-58058 Nothing like healthy competition between the developers to get the most bang for Tracyite's money! Good proposal Tracy RealNews, hope they will reconsider and compromise? -amy - amy Fri, 08 Aug 2008 06:36:39 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15430/2255/#comment-57971 To whom it may concern: It don't make any difference who gave the money to the city, it's the tax payers and the cities money. The responsibility of the Council, Mayor, and Staff is to see that those tax payers get what they asked for. They have not done that to date. They went off and spent money on the political will of Ornellas & Pombo to assure their re-election. t. b - Tom Benigno Thu, 07 Aug 2008 15:54:34 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15430/2255/#comment-57963 I also propose we include other developers too. Let's get the most for our valuable permits. Thanks! - Tracy RealNews Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:54:07 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15430/2255/#comment-57917 Can't say I know about the race in 2000, so I wont say things about it that "are not true", as you suggested. Regarding... "You dame rights the permits are worth billions" Great! That's what I'm talking about. Let's get the information out to Keenan. If they are "darn" worth billions then I would suspect that a developer like Keenan would be interested in building an Aquatics Park and giving the city, say $20 Billion dollars? Good input. Thanks! - Tracy RealNews Thu, 07 Aug 2008 12:24:08 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15430/2255/#comment-57913 To who it may concern: TRN: You dame rights the permits are worth billions to the banks and to the city. I'm not pitching anything other wise, I would have been elected to the State Assembly in 2000. The kind of money we are talking about,it would have been about 2 million to win the race over Matthews and that was in 2000. That didn't happen so don't say things that are not true. t. b - Tom Benigno Thu, 07 Aug 2008 12:09:25 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15430/2255/#comment-57909 Tom Benigno, Feel free to jump right in there and tell Keenan how many billions of dollars the permits are worth. Go ahead! Now's your chance to sell them! Give them your best pitch! Give them your Business Plan! What was the Executive Summary? I think you said the market value is in the Billions of Dollars. I'm sure you will have thier ears now!?! Cheers! - Tracy RealNews Thu, 07 Aug 2008 11:22:59 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15430/2255/#comment-57908 By the way, TP, Nice to have the Grand Theatre in town, even with the silly, neon, looking baby bottle on the front of the building! Perhaps we can get more front page articles about what the city of Tracy has to offer families. I sure hope the City can get this straightened out asap! We also have other more important issues to focus our City's attention on. See my above posts (for ideas where the City may want to consider proposals from alternatate developers. Thanks! - Tracy RealNews Thu, 07 Aug 2008 11:21:08 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15430/2255/#comment-57906 I hope you like my idea! Looking forward to delivery of alleged promises??? - Tracy RealNews Thu, 07 Aug 2008 11:16:10 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15430/2255/#comment-57905 Keenan Land Development, See above post! And bring your best! Thanks! - Tracy RealNews Thu, 07 Aug 2008 11:14:10 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15430/2255/#comment-57904 Celeste Garamendi, Here is a fine example of "transparent" "promise" of "leadership". I will start; you can follow if you would like to. I propose asking Keenan Land Development to come up with a counter offer and see if the city is interested in their offer. This way the City of Tracy, CA will get the *BEST* deal possible. Thanks! - Tracy RealNews Thu, 07 Aug 2008 11:13:58 +0100
