White Cliff Remodel - A poor
choice!
By Rick Watson

If you have taken the time to read all the comments here and
in the newspaper for the White Cliff remodel, you will have noticed
that almost everyone for and against the proposition agree that
a new senior service and arts based facility is needed! Those
that say yes, want something for the seniors and arts but are
ignorant to the facts pertaining to renovating an old, hazardous
facility. Most of those that say no want something for the seniors
and arts but also realize that the proposed renovation is a bad
idea.
It's a bad idea for many reasons,
just look at our past experiences. Why have we not been given
a choice? Renovate the old, or build something fresh and brand
new. Again the city is ram roding something at us. I despise
the take it or leave it attitude and I will be voting NO on this
ridiculous renovation proposal and I ask that you do the same.
When I see a proposal for a new facility, with the white cliff
name and site, I will vote YES and I will try to convince, as
many other friends, neighbors and citizens of Ketchikan I can
to vote the same.
