Fort Smith sewers, U.S. Marshall’s Museum and other conundrums.

Fort Smith sewers, U.S. Marshall’s Museum and other
conundrums.              July 16, 2009

A couple of decades ago the federal government issued an
edict, I think it was the EPA, for Fort Smith to bring their sewers and
directly related assets up to speed. 
Apparently, this has not been accomplished since the Board asked the
citizens to extend the sewer tax for another 12 yrs.  If the 12 yrs is correct, that adds up to 24
yrs and still no guarantee that the recognized deficiencies will be corrected,
which prompts the question…have all the monies that have been generated from
the sewer tax been directed to the sewers and related deficiencies, or have
some of those monies been spent on needed or nebulous projects?

Is the sewer tax money deposited into a special account
earmarked for sewers, or is it being deposited into the general fund?  What is the projected cost to finish the
sewer projects, and how will the 2nd funding deposits be
handled? 

24 yrs to complete a project is not acceptable.  If I am wrong on the time frame, please
correct me.

Now comes the Taj Mahal, a
monument dedicated to politicians, bureaucrats, and other government types,
commonly known as the U.S. Marshall’s Museum. 
This architectural disaster, a $50 million, 50,000 sq. ft. enterprise
being foisted on the citizens of the city and state in the throes of a
depression is disgusting. (Driven by Whirlpool lately?)

Our benevolent leaders (easiest job in the world spending
other peoples’ money) have given $3 million to this “feel-good” project which
gives the appearance of another “civil rights” monument.  The city of Fort Smith dumped in $100 grand,
Sebastian County $115 grand and Beebe & the state legislature $2 million,
200,000.  The ubiquitous Sandi Sanders,  over lording this project with her expensive
taste for architects, fundraisers and consultants is demonstrated by paying
some fellow named Russ Hodge from Ohio $2,000 per day for a “full days’” work…..Yeeehaa!!

My question to city leaders, is
there a point in time, if & when this monstrosity (from my prospective) is
completed, that the city will have to take over its maintenance?  The old library would have been a proper,
sensible place for the museum and a place the citizens could embrace without
all the add-on features being proposed and the price tag would have been
miniscule. (Remember the $33 million bequeathed to the civic center by
taxpayers?)

This project is being billed as a project
funded by private donors, then why all the taxpayer money?  A lie from the get go?

Apparently someone has rattled Frankie Hamilton’s cage,
backing off her $30,000 consultant scam and severing her relationship with
Cranford Johnson, the consummate Arkansas Public Relations monopoly.

I remind each of you once again, we are in a depression, and
priorities should be sewers, streets, water and flush these nonessential
projects.  Jacking up downtown is not a
proper function of government.

Kindest regards,
