The Plan Keeps Coming Up Again
On his blog today, Billy Blades pointed out something that I've been saying for, well, 14 months now: There has never been a plan for the homeless campus. But, somehow, there was enough of a plan to spend $775,000 on land for it.
Who says government is inefficient?
Here's what Billy had to say:
In Michael Davis' excellent story, Ron Littlefield, Chattanooga's Worst Mayor Ever, admitted that there's no plan to make his homeless complex actually happen, but that he hoped that if he bought the property an opportunity would come along to bring his unformed dream to reality. That's the kind of mayor we have folks - a wing and a prayer. Except the wing cost Chattanooga's taxpayers $775,000. Good news though--prayers are still free.
I just don't know what to say anymore.
I'll just quote Built to Spill:
The plan keeps coming up again
The plan means nothing stays the same
But the plan won't accomplish anything
If it's not implemented
...or if it never existed in the first place
