Loveland Reporter-Herald

City Council, Centerra South

-

• I hope they publish where the recall petitions are being signed, the recall for Mayor Marsh. As soon as they put it in the paper, I will be the first one to sign up and sign my name to recall her. She’s a bad deal for Loveland. • Thank you, Mayor Marsh and the Loveland City Council, for rescinding Centerra South. • Personally, I applaud last (week’s) City Council action. Now Mcwhinney can come back with a straight-up developmen­t plan that doesn’t misuse the principles of the URA (and) doesn’t involve massive exemption from property taxes and from sales taxes. Growth and expansion should not principall­y reward the developer. It should expand the tax base for the whole community. • Congratula­tions, Loveland voters. You just voted in a dictatorsh­ip for our City Council. The hatred for the Mcwhinneys is well known by our mayor. If not for the Mcwhinneys, Loveland would still be stuck in the 1960s. • If Centerra South is such a great idea, why doesn’t the Mcwhinney Enterprise­s secure private loans and develop it without taxpayer subsidies? Because they have to pay loans back, unlike the $150 million in taxpayer subsidies. • I … am extremely thankful … that at long last a new City Council has finally pumped to brakes on a decades long policy of wholesale giveaway of tax revenue to subsidize and enrich a private entity. • It is a sad day for the residents of Loveland. … (The) Centerra South resolution­s (has been) rescinded. What happened to a deal is a deal, to commitment and trust? Obviously the current City Council does not honor these words. Their actions will have a long serious economic impact on the future of Loveland.
