Lets be honest, if the View/Wheatstack were a privately owned restaurant and not a taxpayer funded restaurant, it would have been in the closings section years ago. But, when you have the taxpayers backing you, it won't go out of the business. Profits or losses don't matter.

What was the followup on new development on the Meijer property? Remember those empty promises of a YMCA or other development on that vacant site? And how about a followup on the Nick & Vito's and Blu 47 restaurants?
