My Observation of The Day

"It appears that, after a trip to Dayton with Tom Smith, Tom Didier is now going to vote for the Harrison Square project. We don’t know what Didier’s “young” eyes saw that Smith’s “more mature” eyes missed, but the complete lack of any adjacent retail establishments around the Dayton stadium is easy to see. Maybe Didier’s eyes were clouded by “Fort Wayne dreams.”

But since the existing Memorial Stadium is within his district, we guess Didier is content to be a one-term member of City Council and will join Councilman Sam Talarico Jr., and Mayor Graham Richard outside city government at the next election for each. Didier would be wise to check with the people who elected him as to how they feel about moving the Wizards ballpark to Smith’s district. We suggest that he start with his own neighbors and his parish members at St. Vincent’s.

We love to hear your voice, Tom, but on this issue, you are now singing off-key."

OK, I could be wrong, and I might not know how to read a map, BUT take a look at:

Now, keeping in mind that Tom Smith is 1st district, Tom Didier is 3rd District, and Tim Pape is 5th District. Who's district is benefitting from the move?

Also, I love how this person thinks that a certain district is benefitting, instead of the message that proponents have been trying to get across: "Fort Wayne benefits"

Do a little homework before you start arguing.
