This includes the old right of way of Water St.<br />Even though the land was reclaimed with Federal money by a Federal agency local landowners got property rights of this land and have a lot of say so on its use.John Saleebyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07674815114405859803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32089423.post-89202763181004282162006-11-18T09:38:00.000-06:002006-11-18T09:38:00.000-06:00Will somebody PLEASE help me straighten this confu...Will somebody PLEASE help me straighten this confusion out. Could the newspaper just publish a kind of "fact sheet" with a time line or something. When I read the reports of all the meetings of the aldermen, I can't tell what was done in what secret meeting, what was actually voted on and when, who the players are now, who the former? city attorney actually represents, how he can represent the city in the law suit I read about if he's not the city attorney. Also, I am further confused. I thought we were talking about Reuther. Now blackjack says we're talking about the Lane Company. I'm sure I missed something, but It sure is confusing. Couldn't the paper just sum it all up for us poor average citizens. They don't have to give an opinion if they are afraid to, but just tell what's actually happening. Everybody doesn't read blogs and have email.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32089423.post-49511126724697408212006-11-18T08:54:00.000-06:002006-11-18T08:54:00.000-06:00The land at the bottom of Roth Hill was reclaimed ...The land at the bottom of Roth Hill was reclaimed as a result of a project that was done at the same time or just after Bluff Stabilization. It had caved in previously. The road going down there was also rebuilt. It was not usuable for many many years prior to bluff stabilization. There are utilities under the street that terminate at the bottom of the hill in anticipation of additional casinos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32089423.post-26650382992878341682006-11-18T06:59:00.000-06:002006-11-18T06:59:00.000-06:00Black Jack!

Gambling in New Orleans was a bit up not long ago and Warren Reuther (our new mgmnt. man) said the slight increase was due to all the migrant workers in the area post-Katrina. Those workers had cash in hand and took to the casinos. And, that's exactly what's going on around here. With cash in hand, our most needy are loosing it at the boat. When you look at the casino profits think of it this way: citizens lost x number of dollars. Those are dollars that could have improved quality of life for children, families, local business, community infrastructure. The big winner isn't the city; it's the out-of-town developers cashing in at our expense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32089423.post-90568209586619750582006-11-17T20:24:00.000-06:002006-11-17T20:24:00.000-06:00Roth Hill was reclaimed and redeveloped for anothe...Roth Hill was reclaimed and redeveloped for another casino riverboat site. That's what needs to be there. It seems that the mayor and boa have done a wonderful job and taken in several proposals for the development. It's time to award a project and get it underway. Development in downtown has been stalled for too long. We have the opportunity for great projects right now and another casino to bring competition for the horrilbe one we have. Everyone had an opportunity to bid. They have the Lane group from Atlanta in here wanting to build. if we are fortunate enough to get them to come to Natchez, we should bend over backwards for them. That is a world class development company. Just look at there website and review the credentials. And why do you bimbos seem to think that no one in Natchez wants gambling here? We already voted on that. Gaming is in. If you didn't like a gaming community you should not have come here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32089423.post-58650046011918147342006-11-17T20:23:00.000-06:002006-11-17T20:23:00.000-06:00Well natchezblues, let me complicate it a bit more...Well natchezblues, let me complicate it a bit more.

Where are the church people? I know they talk about gambling on Sunday from the pulpits and in the pews, but no one seems to be speaking out. When our officials sign an agreement with a bunch of crooks it will be too late. Church pastors and the ministerial alliance group never breathe a word about it. How many welfare checks which should go to feed families are being thrown away in the hopes of getting something for nothing? I know about it personally. How many people will jump in the river next year when they sober up and realize what they've done? (really - this has happened). Come on folks. Do something - Quick! Speak up.

Walter Brown has long been quoted, at least 3 times, as the new hotel being a "catalyst for future riverfront development".<br />Bauer's their man! His cronies are there to help him push it through. Furthermore, why would Reuther, with huge connections in Louisianna and elsewhere, want to waste his time and money on a small convention center and hotel? These guys don't do favors. There has to more for him in all of this and a big-time boat at the bottom of the hill of our beautiful downtown may be the answer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
