Does your source's name end with a y?

:lol:

[orlandonative]

Yes

[MAntoniazzi]

Wow, i cant take the anticipation of this vote. Where will the UPers meeting be after this vote? hahaha

[orlandonative]

I fully expect this thread to remain at the top today.

[orlandonative]

If you would like your voice to be heard whether its for or against the venues, The Monsters on 104.1 are taking calls from everyone to hear your perspective. I assume that one or a couple of votes are tuning in as well.

Excerpt from the Sentinel article:

Meanwhile, an Orange County advisory board OK'd the spending of tourist taxes on the arts center and Citrus Bowl in a 7-1 vote Wednesday. The lone dissenting vote on the Tourist Development Council, International Drive hotel magnate Harris Rosen, said he might challenge the venues deal in court.

Taxpayers "deserve the right to have a say" through a voter referendum, said Rosen, who once sued the county over its bid to lure pro baseball to the area.

One word: Geez!

Question... If the first vote for all three fails to get the super majority, will the venues each seperately go up for a vote?

[orlandonative]

No. If the result of todays vote goes to a 4-3 split, the issue of all three goes directly to the people. Currently, there is no written or otherwise approved plan to split the venues.

For those not able to attend this afternoon, it appears that orlandosentinel.com will carry streaming coverage as the discussions takes place.

it looks like CFL13 news has a model of the PAC in one of the video. Go check it out.

I think this is the PAC model, doesnt look like some design that can be an Icon.

I wouldn't call that a "design." It looks more like a masssing model based on some high level concepts.

Yes, Hillcity, ends with a 'y'...JK

The 5th cent of the resort tax went to attract a MLB team to Orlando - Linda Chapin was county chair at the time and Glenda Hood was the Orlando mayor. If I recall correctly, we lost out to St. Pete. The stadium was supposed to be built on the east side of the Citrus Bowl, I think (this seems like ancient history now). Once it was clear there was to be no baseball for us, the 5th cent was used for the last expansion of OCCC.

[OrlandoMagic3]

I have a feeling the Magic will be making a surprise announcement minutes before the vote takes place. hehe

aaaahhh I just want this thing to be set in stone already so i can finally breathe easy!
