It was supposed to be for infrastructure. Roads, water, sewer, etc.

It has morphed into this money sucking grifting bureaucracy.

Shouldn’t the funds be coming from the City and County’s Capital Improvement funds?

What is the “economic return” on this “investment”. Agree or disagree, I at least understood the economic return argument with respect to the BP funds given to FAMU, TCC, and FSU. How does this “investment” benefit the city and county economically? As I stated several times during the FAMU, TCC, and FSU debate… the Blueprint governance needs to be thoroughly re-evaluated at the highest degree of transparency and public input.

Will we soon be using BP funds to buy snacks for the City Commission?

No Tax For Snacks!

Where will the water go now? (It will go to Weelaunee).

Did the city illegally grant a permit to developers who contribute generously to elected officials campaigns for this or is the expertise at the city not there anymore to know that this was wrong?

The city spokesperson should have ran out of the building screaming to shut this down before further damage can be done.

The Tallahassee Democrat brought this to the attention of the public and not a moment too soon, good for them!

All I can say is if this isn’t stopped you better stock up on your sandbags because the floods are coming.

You pretty much did this Ass Backwards, now every Bid will be $3.5 Million so, I will Bid $3,499,999. When do I get the Check?

You should be able to build another Center for that kind of Money.

This is dumb. Blueprint was not supposed to be about the animal shelter or Office of Economic Vitality, or FSU boosters.

Speaking of OEV and FSU boosters…is there a Blueprint Citizens Board member who is on the Tallahassee Quarterback club executive clique and has a spouse at OEV? Just wondering.
