SALES TAX SHOULD BUILD A NEW
WHITE CLIFF FACILITY
By Pete Ellis

With a little more a new library in a far better location can
be included. Part of the justification for a new facility can
come from the cost per square foot of the same being no more
and probably less than any White Cliff renovation. One of the
savings could be that it does not take $3.9 million to demolish
the structure. Starting with a new structure ensures that
planning and design will far better provide for what is needed
and can be used. The current renovation plans and needs can
readily be transformed into a new structure that is more centrally
located and accessible in terms of including also a new library
which is not for tourists but for those of us who reside, live
and work here. VOTE YES and then work to ensure that the moneys
to be generated by the sales tax revenue will provide the maximum
benefit to the community at the lowest possible cost.
