Why did the “city” choose this particular spot to put the library? Are there some political favors being paid?

This particular area is undesirable because the traffic can only approach that location from the north and the west.

Does the governing body really know what their constituents want? Is the city paying for all the “experts” to tell us how and where to spend our money? And how much is their advice costing the city of Appleton taxpayers?

If public money is being planned for this project, then that needs to be made perfectly clear to Appleton citizens and their voice needs to be considered before any building takes place. Is Appleton waving, changing or ignoring any ordinances or regulations to accommodate developers or builders?

The government, principally under HUD, created loopholes and tax credits to provide incentives to developers and investors. Is there an urgency to tap into that source of taxpayer-funded development money?

I would like the good citizens of Appleton to voice their opinion on this issue — all of them to the City Fathers.

Mary Foegen,
