Council "negotiated" a mere $125,000 For The Lee-Meadowbrook Property. Plus The $3 MILLION TAX ABATEMENTS !!!

By selling the five unappraised parcels for pennies on the $, this city council is defiantly not accountable to anyone, and they show amazingly poor judgment, at *our* expense.

The latest figures are in from the developers (think "Lipstick On A Pig"). The pdf is attached to this article.

The 5 parcels, with a total cost to prepare for sale exceeding $1.1 MILLION, about $600,000 of that directly from CH taxpayers, will be sold to the developers for $125,000.

The land has not been appraised as a whole.

And the developers still expect the $3+ MILLION in tax abatements.

Our city council is failing in their fiduciary responsibilities as trustees of our assets. And demonstrating an alarming lack of any common sense.

Please, help me stop this travesty. Contact all 7 council members, and all 5 BOE members, and tell them this nonsense is not what you want for your community.
