Having read the letters and sat at the BID presentation at the Lyceum, I cannot but remember Churchill's quip on Christopher Columbus: He was the first socialist because "he did not know where he was going, he did not know where he was, and he did it all at taxpayers expense."
And so it appears to be with the present BID.
No budget, no plan on how this budget will be spent, no explanation as to what “improvements” will be: Christopher Columbus! Since the proponents of the plan seem to want to keep us in a fog of smoke and mirrors, I cannot help but think this is nothing more than a plan to finance a seawall along the Potomac (something which has been soundly rejected in the past) in the name of “business improvements.”
Shame!
