Told ya big investors would step in!
Sounds like two different interpretations of the Open Door Law, it’s ok with the city’s guy but not ok with Keystone.?
Party caucuses are (sadly) allowed, so long as no decisions are made.
Knowing and working with Scott Chinn in the past, he would not attach his name to the process if things were not being done correctly.
These chain of events have exposed city ‘leadership’ for what it is, untrustworthy, incompetent and backstabbing. On the positive side, Keystone has managed to re-load with influential $$$ backers of its own. Considering the ridiculous Hogsett location with allies of Keystone owning the properties, the secretive city cartel will be hard pressed to move forward with their current plans.
I hope Keystone and company succeeds. They may be able to pull it off without city subsidies. It’s reasonable to imagine MLS at the leveled site and the USL franchise going to Ft. Wayne. If successful it would be fun to watch the ceremony without Hogsett on the stage.
Keystone wanted the City on the hook if their financing didn’t pan out rather than a developer-backed bond; virtually all of the risk would be taken on by the City if that were the case. I think the above scenario is exceedingly unlikely. In the interest of taxpayers, the Mayor made the right call. I still have lots of not-great feelings about wooing an MLS team here when we have so many unmet needs, but when it comes to the Eleven the Mayor was right.
I love how people think anything behind close doors is untrustworthy, incompetent, backstabbing, etc. Details come out, meetings and visits come out. But with any major economic development, major investment, jobs announcements, event announcements – with so many variable, stakeholders, laws, policies and taxpayer financials to consider all these types of deals and announcements are ALWAYS kept quiet until all is on paper and good to go. Its just how it is done. Not unique to this administration, city or state. Happen all over.
