Bad News folks...

According to William Williams and the Nashville City Paper, the Nashville Federal Courthouse has been delayed yet again. The construction will start at the earliest late 2006. That is one and one half years away! William has tried to contact the General Services Division of the Federal Gov't in Atlanta and they will not respond nor give an updated sketch. They will not give a yes or a no and all they say is the earliest construction would start would be LATE 2006. I take that to mean as early 2007.

It looks like the Sounds Stadium deal is going to fall through. In yesterday's City Paper, there was a feature on the stadium deal and the fact Mayor "do nothing" Purcell won't commit and the Contractor is ready to back out.

I really do not like our Mayor, good intentions but he has let lots of great projects fall through. The stadium was gonna be great. Lots of people are gonna be mad about this one.

Maybe the Sounds will try again once Purcell leaves office. I hope we get another Bredesen (in other words, a mayor that isn't afraid of sports facilities).

Purcell is so afraid to have his name on a project that may cost taxpayers money, that he won't do anything. The only thing he has passion for is sidewalks.
