We're about to elect some City Council members here in Albert lea.
These things would be nice but we have too many government projects planned with no real pay-back to the taxpayer. We have more pressing infrastructure matters in our city, we can't waste our resources on unnecessary luxury expenditures.
We're facing some major expenditures,
(1)The city seems to think the current fire station obsolete, unable to accommodate a new larger truck. Cost of a new Firehouse $8.5 million.
Would it be more cost effective to remodel the current fire station to accommodate a larger truck or save the main station and build a smaller substation to accommodate a larger truck.
(2) City garage remodel and expansion 1.5 million/10 million respectively. I've voiced my opinion here in a previous post, some work needs to be done here but lets not go wild.
(3) Airport terminal, totally out of the question...
(4) The blazing Star landing, $ 36 million new City Hall, new City Arena, new YMCA facility, new library etc. also the relocation of Front Street on a State Bonding bill.
The City Hall building isn't obsolete, as for the rest of this pipe dream forget it, if and when the farmstead site is devolved it should be private money not a public project.
Front Street should be left right where it is, we can't afford to waste money on pipe dreams..
Same goes with dredging Albert Lea lake, forget it..

Are fires not on the decline with all the new safety technology? Just curious..
I agree with every word expat..
I would also sell the Farmstead property for $1.00 to an amusement park developer (corporation) to develop a great park around a great roller coaster that could be seen from I-35.. Oh ya..
^^ wow, you're really cranky lately, Lemewinks not return from the "land beyond"?
You're like a big bag of bargain cheezy poofs.
Real low quality and lousy.
But oh boy, there sure is a lot of it.
In other words like you, a total lack of content.
This is where we differ, I offer a thoughtful opinion with a few insults thrown in.
Lately you've just offered insults (crappy ones at that) with mindless drivel, pretty much since you've been back. There was that period when you returned and you were just posting pics, quite good ones at that.
I'm guessing you "fell off the wagon" and an intervention is eminent.

Take care precious, Jesus saves
Returned? I've commented and contributed off and on since joining. I've taken a hiatus/pause/break/interlude from time to time from all the forums I have participated in. For various reasons. If a person takes a break from this forum these days they don't miss much. You come back six months later. The Turd is still spamming. Still showing his same three or pictures.
Thoughtful? You the spam The Albert Lea Discussion Forum with crap. If this forum were an email account all your stuff would be blocked and sent directly to the spam folder.
Fell off the wagon? That's rich coming from a farm animal groper/ wife beater such as yourself. The difference between you and me is there is no wagon and you did bang farm animals.
Jesus saves? Doesn't that go against the grain of the phony conservative holiness making light of Jesus?
To my eyes you're just part of the divided and conquered. . .
Remember boys and girls,
