Susie Prosapios building(old Thielen bldg) gets big tax break, will become the Purple Carrot Historic Preservstion Commission BUSINESS WELFARE HANDOUTS

See Susie Prosapio owns Black Dog Opportunities ( I would guess this is the old Thielen Appliance building that will become the Purple Carrot healthfood store for the good ol white boys club.  She got a slick tax break of almost half the amount her property is worth.  On top of that, she is likely going to get a bunch from HPC to renovate the front facade of the building.  And then the city EDA committee(her buddy Mayor Greg Zylka is the president of that organization and Susie was his campaign manager) is working on a new sweetheart deal for SOME downtown businesses in the form of INTERIOR FIX IT FUNDING.  That program is being worked on at present by Lori Kasella, city finance director, and it is called the Downtown Revitalization Program.  Susie will be the first to have her hand out for that money too.  

You don't suppose there might be a CONFLICT OF INTEREST going on here, do you?  Sure smells like it to me. 

 Here'$  $usie Prosapio former schoolboard member alongside Mayor Greg Zylka, and Gregs mayoral campaign manager, asking for YOUR tax money handout.

 The Purple Carrot healthfood co-op is just a good ol whiteboys club to get discounted healthfood for the RICH.  They are doing NOTHING to help the poverty stricken in town be able to get the same discount. You see there will be a $200.00 membership. Only those who have paid this membership fee will get the DISCOUNTED food price. I made the good suggestion, they waive tge membership fee to the poor, but of course they kissed that great idea goodbye. Anyone can buy from this co-op, but frankly without the discount, you will likely be paying more than at Coborns healthfood department or Walmart.  What a crock. Abd you watch. If the Economic Development Committee bloodsuckers (Mayor Greg Zylka is president of this committee) get their way, Susie will be first in line with her hands wide open, ready to receive the first EDA money for INTERIOR repairs/remodeling as well.

Why isn't the city subsidizing potential homes that are in danger of foreclosure, to keep THOSE properties on the tax roles? Why: because then they woukdn't be able to give business welfare to their downtown buddies. That'$ why. No need to wonder why Washington and our national budget are a mess. They all learn these taxpayer ripoff  strategies in their hometown council dealings.  Below is the video of the HPC meeting 5-9-16.  Lasted about 16 minutes.
