My complete confusion

I saw this today in the letter to the editor. This doesn't make any sense to me. We touch on school board corruption, HS, Taxpayers (by the way - Dear Author, Everyone pays taxes), home foreclosures, and finally government consolidation. I'm sure that the newspaper edited out his opinion on the internet, international relations, and his thoughts on where to go to lunch. Someone please explain these ramblings to me.

There’s a business that uses the slogan “our reputation is our future.” Our community leaders should take note. The school task force chairman raised money from contractors to elect board members who will vote on his building recommendations, but our leaders say it’s unimportant to them how that looks.

The news media willingly promote the attendance estimates for the new stadium to help sell the Harrison Square project. Just months before, media reports insisted baseball attendance is grossly exaggerated. Even if we believe those estimates and you doubled the ticket prices, with the extra going to pay off the stadium, by the time the current players are on Social Security the stadium would be half paid.

That’s ironic, since we’re told Memorial Stadium is shot after 13 years. Politicians say no property tax will be used. If we have all that money available from other funds, and they won’t need to levy additional property tax to replace the money diverted from those funds, then we were being overtaxed to begin with, weren’t we?

The money grabs keep getting more outlandish and frequent. This isn’t only about revitalization. It’s about exploiting one class of taxpayers because politicians can. If anyone tries to question one of these schemes, people pushing it cry that the taxpayers are dumb hicks. They are the ones who keep wanting money from us. Is that supposed to inspire future support?

Indiana leads the nation in home foreclosures. It’s not the taxpayers who are dumb; it’s the people who think we will rally behind leaders who don’t care who their plans hurt or leaders we don’t think we can trust. You should have learned that from the government-consolidation meetings. Fort Wayne’s future won’t be determined by how many breaks our leaders give to every promoter with an agenda to push, but rather by how few they give to the taxpaying customers they expect will support them.
