Jumping the Gun?
I noticed a full-page ad in this morning’s Journal Star from the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce. The ad featured a resolution backing the May bond issue vote for the arena, and encouraging local voters to do the same. I wasn’t surprised to see that the Chamber of Commerce is backing the arena. But I am a bit surprised to see them support ballot language that hasn’t even been written yet. It strikes me as awfully irresponsible to tell people to vote for something when none of us knows exactly what the vote will entail. It seems like a more general “support the arena” message is appropriate for now, while holding off on the “vote yes” message until we know what “yes” means. Or maybe I’m just playing this too conservative. After all the arena has been through so far, can you blame me?
