John Robert is not interested in anyone else's plans for downtown. He doesn't care that he commits other people's taxes for his "projects". All he cares about is John Robert and the legacy he thinks people will remember him for. I certainly hope that the people of Meridian elect a more down to Earth, reliable steward of the public trust. John Robert it ain't ! He won't listen to or attend a meeting held by ANYONE that he feels threatens his agenda. I commend Mr. Lala and his willingness to invest more of his company's money in Meridian. I hope the city council uses more good sense on this vote than they normally do !

Breaking News: Our mayor has got to go!! He repeatedly skips crucial meetings not only with visiting dignitaries but also with local officials.

I attended last night's meeting and immediately after presenting his fairy tale the mayor leaves the building with no regards to listening to Mr Lala's proposal or answering questions from any of the citizens of Meridian. How typical and how rude.

HRI says it will be responsible for the debt incurred by the city. What if HRI files bankruptcy? Anyone remember the Beef Plant?
