Community Center $$$$$ citizen appeal by Robin Hensel and Theresa Skorseth, MN ASAP military spending reduction resolution 10-21-13

The proposed community center that the Little Falls School district is touting may not be such a grand idea.  A WHOPPING $$$ 15.4 MILLION and 77,000 square feet of FIELD HOUSE is proposed by Little Falls school district and may be on  referendum in May of this year. "Community Field House visualized for all ages" article in the Mcrecord lays it all out for all to see. It has been highlighted that 4 other communities have built a similar community center. Monticello (who have the nuclear plant), Becker(who have the coal fired electric plant), Hastings and St. Michael-Albertville, all with way more financial strength and ability to afford this type of facility.  In this weeks Mcrecord there is also an article titled "National study of counties has good and bad news", and in it, it states Morrison county has only recovered it's GDP,  but still has higher unemployment and lower home prices.  Now come on folks....is it that hard to figure out what's going on here.  Since the sales tax referendum failed that was to fund the LFARC sports complex, this group pushing this wants your tax dollars to bring in revenue for the school district to host baseball and other tournaments.  I would be all for this if our area was prospering, but it is NOT!  Numerous home foreclosures fill the local newspaper every WEEK and this does NOT include all the HUNDREDS of bankruptcies.   The tiny group of individuals pushing this do NOT HAVE ECONOMIC worries, like the MAJORITY of residents who do.  AND WHAT WILL IT COST TAXPAYERS TO HOLD THIS REFERENDUM?                Do we wish to become the next Vadnais Heights?          They are a community of just over 12k population....only 3k more than  Little Falls.               Listen as I expose what happened to the Vadnais Heights sports complex and how it helped to tank their bond rating.                   Theresa Skorseth shares information on the military spending reduction resolution, the MN ASAP resolution that many cities, mayors, counties, councils, and churches signed on to.  Wonder why????    This backwards thinking council chose to ignore it of course.  10-21-13 Little Falls city council work session.
