Well there's something you don't see every day

Anne Milling is.... right about something.... ?
But Anne Milling said that convention centers across the country are not generating as much money or as many out-of-state tourists as they did in the past with the internet allowing people to livestream presentations. Milling said the project was a "folly" and "a far cry" from its original mission of spurring "economic development by hosting trade shows and conventions."

"Rather than acknowledge this change in paradigm, today the commission is suddenly modifying its mission," she said. "No longer is it just about trade shows and conventions, but rather it now wants to be an entrepreneur, a developer, a kingmaker today. But the commission wants to build hotels, parking garages, entertainment centers and even a golf driving range with taxpayer dollars and public subsidies."

Milling said that the money would be better put toward the city's Sewerage & Water Board and other infrastructure issues.
Well my whole universe has been exploded. I'm gonna go think this over for a while.
