For 23 years, we've watched promises made, agreements approved, deadlines missed, and a historic building deteriorate while City Hall kept telling us about its vision for downtown.

Now, after all these years, the city is left dealing with the building and the prospect of demolition.

And we're supposed to just shrug our shoulders and move on?

Who benefited from 23 years of decisions? Who was held accountable? And why does the public keep getting stuck with the consequences?

This isn't about being Republican or Democrat. It's about paying attention to what your local government is doing right in front of your face.

Stop taking their word for everything. Start asking questions. Read the documents. Follow the decisions. Demand answers.

Because while you're busy looking the other way, decisions are being made that affect your community, your money, and your future.

OPEN YOUR EYES.
