Is there enough transparency with transactions that the city is conducting? The city attorney wants to know what a “Park” is. Say, what? What are the goals of Colorado Springs? Are they in writing? Are the citizens participating in the process of compiling these goals? Of course, there’s always that resistance to change, right? Is the Olympic museum going to be surrounded by hi-rise structures? An Urban canyon? Is the city going in the right direction? Why is there no oversight of the financials of the Metro Districts? Who is being protected? The citizens?
