When you hear or read about the Postal Service having money problems, do you ever wonder how or why that can happen? Well here’s a prime example. On the 22nd of April I ordered something on line from Phoenix, Az. It was supposed to be delivered yesterday, the 26th, but didn’t come. So I looked up the tracking number and found out that the package is in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Well now that’s a direct flight of what, 2600 miles one way. I guess that works for me, as it was free shipping.
“The mob takes the Fifth,” Trump said “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”
But yet Trump took the Fifth during his divorce from his first wife Ivana Trump in 1990 to avoid answering questions about adultery.
So now Trump’s lawer Michael Cohen is going to plead and assert his Fifth Amendment rights in Stormy Daniels’s lawsuit filed against him and Trump.
Bwaahaaa……you Trumptards just keep bending over and taking in the ass.
Stick a fork in the renny-sauce boondaggle. All the undies in Lonnee’s dresser won’t save it now.

Four years and counting.
Was to be, with city tax increment financial assistance, the relocation of the Younkers Home Store into the former theaters space next to the main Younkers store in Southbridge. Never going to happen .
Younkers main store would stay in business and be the retail anchor of Southbridge
After the closing of J C Penney. Appears Bon – Ton Stores (Younkers) will be
Subject to liquidation after the auction going on in New York on 4/16 and approval
Of the selected outcome plan by the bankruptcy Judge in charge.
The MCYH was to submit pledges for a total of $2,000,000. Toward the $12.5M
Project funding estimated cost of the ice arena to be in the former J C Penney
Area of Southbridge plus the Home Store space for the MC Park & Rec. offices.
New private owner of Southbridge who paid all of $1.5M to U S Bank for the entire mall.
A small fraction of the loan amount Mall Associates ,L.L.C. Owed the bank on this mall.
City to GIVE this $12.5M of up front GO bond proceeds to this tax delinquent new owner
So he can use it to build this ice arena and then RENT it to the City of MC.
To date the new owner is property tax delinquent on this property since purchase in
Late 2016.
The city has not reported on the status of signed pledges from MCYH or any that
Have been actually paid. This $2.0M has to be first provided via the GO bonding of the city. Failure of the full payment of the MCYH $2.0M leaves the city totally responsible
For the shortfall plus interest cost on these GO bonds. Funded by various tax sources
Including potential to levy new city debt service tax levy if necessary.
The required minimum of $10,000,000. Of private funding into at least one of the
Renaissance projects is yet to be accomplished in writing from a lender.
Two different so called developers have tries three different times and failed
To deliver such verified funding for a hotel. Failure to do so will disqualify
The contingent approved MC Renaissance appl. Before the IEDA Board if not
Accomplished by 5/18/18. Thus no $9.1 M in state tax assistance over up to 20
Years from business within the 25 acre Urban Renewal District new establishments
Subject to certain tax.
No Agreement to date on the proposed Conf. And Convention Center operating
Terms and funding for such between the hotel owner and MC Foundation and City.
No need for a skyway if no hotel is funded and built in the south parking lot
Of Southbridge.
No new smaller Music Man Square needed if the hotel and conference / convention center are not funded with private, and city GO bond proceeds money.
Four years and counting.
I am super enthused about city employees receiving close to $200K in annual salary. That is downright honest pay for an honest job’s work. Attending council meetings and sitting at a desk are super difficult tasks to do. Way to go. Now tax monies are finally being put to good use. We need to concentrate wealth into the hands of the few who will tell us what to do. This is the good old American way of life. Thank you Mason City for being brave enough to to what all communities should be doing: widening the gap between haves and have nots.
Waddja do this morning Wallly? Well, got up, said hello to willy, (the only other prick in the room), turned on on the radio and listened to commercials !
The band fest gave 1k to the “yes” campaign.. our donations given away . NO THANK YOU
Mason City Chamber asking for donations for North Iowa Band Fest… but pays $0 tax on $800,000+ building in downtown MC – welcome to North Iowa. Chamber Director Robin Anderson gets huge discount on house tax assessment, down $51,000. She has a lot of nerve asking for $$$ from citizens, if you ask me.
Monahan guilty of stealing at Lake Chevy now works at chiro office in Mason lol
WITH Younkers closing I think its the end of the mall and the end of the hotel and hockey rink. I sure hope the city doesn’t do something stupid like guaranting the loan for G8 to get the money, its just a pipe dream and now the pipe got rusty
And your the pivot boy with the p;u;s;s;y like grip!
Looks like they could add you to the list too.
