Yeah, whenver I see big numbers like that, I usually just stop counting after 2 or 3 zeroes and assume it's "gazillion"

So yeah, who did it then?

I happen to agree with Mr. Bramble 100% (on this anyway)

Classic Loney. And he also happens to be right.

Don would say "Put down the chalk".

Don't stress, lovers of California-level property taxes.

Don Garber is on the case.

Don used to work for the NFL; the Champions of talking cities into closing schools and fire stations and spending the money to subsidize millionaires instead.

So The Don will sort out Bramble and have Salt Lake City & the surrounding area well on the way to being the next Cleveland or downtown Oakland.

So why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel?

Don't come complaining to me when your kids' school is closed down to build a 130,000 seat replacement for Rocky Mountain Raceway. , with NASCAR Fans (who outnumber us by a wide margin) using RSL's stadium subsidy as a precedent.

I know what I am about to say is somewhat contrary to my previous posts but I have had a change of position since I have seen the power of the negative publicity generated from the chalk incident... it was actually scary to see how much people will perpetuate the negative and ignore logic and reasoning.

So I say we should not start a huge debate about schools and stadiums because there are studies and opinions that support each position and there are rabid supporters of each position that are poised to drum the opposing position into submission.

I say let's just leave it to the people that make the decisions and have these studies in-hand and when/if it comes to a vote lets get out and vote...

Until then... it will really not serve any purpose to draw divisions among us.

Unless of course we can find nothing more constructive to debate! :D

Good call, Deuce. I guess all we need to know is that people on the board have differing opinions on the issue. I'm just convinced that it's a fairly complex issue, and that what appears to be something as simple as "6 times 9" might just have several possible results.

Although I'm pretty sure I know what Deuce's answer to that math problem would be.

Okay, so the sidewalk chalk thing is going, going, and still going. Didn't it get the most views of any thread yet? Who knows. 😲

I'm just waiting for the announcement of when and where. Even if it isn't downtown or in Murray I'll still be at some of the games. Heck, the further south the more often I'll go.

Is anybody else kind of waiting for the next 'big thing' to come along and stir us up? I have kind of enjoyed lurking during this torrential 'discussion'. 😉
