BEGINNING TO TALK ABOUT THE MARSHALL PLAN

How do you know I'm not going to talk about recovery plans from old wars? You just NATURALLY assumed I am going to elaborate the new school proposal.

WELL...,

I AM.

The proposed construction cost is $65,000,000. This is only the HIGH end of the estimated costs but I ask you, "How many times you seen construction come at or under budget?". Makes you wonder why they even do feasibility study's at all. This state mandated one will cost $750,000. Lynn City Council already approved the money. Remember, we're supposed to be getting 80% back. Follow the money.

Since we get back 80% of the construction costs, that means we are on the hook for what $13,000,000. Can you spell T-A-X-E-S. I'm not sure whether that projection includes the cost of the feasibility but what the hey.

I see they are supposed to have a non-mandatory informational meeting at MARSHALL at 1:00 pm on February 15. We could go to the meeting and then do a late lunch..That kind of talk works up my appetite. One problem though, I don't know if it is an OPEN meeting or not and I didn't get an invitation..
