About 'black horse finance complaints'|Marshall Auerback: Beware German Trojan Horses – More “Europe” Might Mean More Fiscal Austerity








"We               the               people...."               interesting               words               that               begin               the               Preamble               to               the               American               Constitution.

These               words               are               words               of               inclusion,               not
exclusion.

These               words,               along               with               other               words               such               as               "...of               the               people,               by               the               people,               and               for               the               people..."               sum               up               the               American
experiment               with               democracy               and               the               basis               of               our               government.

The               people               are               the               basis               for               every               government               in               America,               from               the               smallest               villageto               the               largest               city,               to               the               nation               itself.

You               might               ask               what               this               preface               has               to               do               with               the               title               or               the               actual               subject               of               the               article.

If               you               will               indulge               me,               and               if               any               of               us               can               sand               it,               I               would               like               to               take               a               trip               down               memory               lane               and               beat               a               dead               horse               one               more               time.
               About               two               years               ago               the               newspaper               started               publishing               reports               that               the               city               government               was               taking               the               community               down               a               new               path               to               try               and               jumpstart               its               stagnant               economy.

This               path               was               the               Carolina               Crossroads               Entertainment               District.

We               would               revitalize               our               economy               by               becoming               a               tourist               attraction               and               a               country               music               destination               for               fans               from               all               over               the               country.
               The               newspaper               reported               the               details               of               the               plan.

The               city               and               Randy               Parton               would               build               a               theater               on               prime               real               estate               along               I-95.


               Questions               and               rumors               started               flying               around               about               this               deal.

I               understood               the               deal               to               be               that               the               theater               would               be               purchased               by               Randy               Parton               as               he               made               a               series               of               payments               back               to               the               city.

Very               little               information               actually               seemed               to               be               forthcoming               about               the               financing               and               how               much               money               the               tax               payers               had               invested.

The               city               had               a               meeting               to               explain               to               the               citizens               what               the               plans               were               and               what               its               success               would               mean               for               the               area.
               Oh,               by               the               way,               no               questions               about               the               financing               would               be               taken.

That               was               strictly               not               on               the               agenda.

Citizen               input               also               did               not               appear               top               be               on               the               agenda.

The               decisions               were               already               made               in               closed               sessions               of               the               city               council.

The               city               and               Randy               Parton               seemed               to               a               a               childish               penchant               for               secrecy               about               the               deal.
               Let's               fast               forward               our               trip               down               memory               lane               a               little.

Most               of               this               already               has               been               looked               at.

I               noticed               as               the               citizens               wrote               in               and               called               in               to               the               paper               criticizing               the               project               that               there               was               a               common               thread               or               two               in               the               complaints.

As               the               theater               opened               to               rave               reviews               and               low               attendance,               criticism               mounted.

The               letters               to               the               newspaper               continued               to               come               in               expressing               the               same               themes.

Why               country               music?

Why               one               performer               and               one               show,               his,               at               the               theater?

Why               not               diversity               in               music?

And               oh,               by               the               way,               exactly               how               much               tax               payer               money               is               actually               invested               in               this               enterprise?

One               ting               did               seem               obvious               to               me               as               an               observer.

The               city               and               the               citizens               did               not               understand               the               theater               concept               that               Randy               Parton               brought               to               the               deal.
               His               theater               was               intended               as               a               satellite               attraction,               just               as               the               Black               Widow               Pool               Hall               and               other               theaters               were               satellite               attractions.

It               could               
               not               work               in               its               intended               format               without               a               major               venue               in               the               area               to               bring               in               tourists.

The               theater's               intended               audience               was               not               the               citizens               of               the               Roanoke               Valley,               but               an               ever               changing               group               of               tourists               that               would               come               in               to               see               a               major               attraction,               i.e.

a               Disney               theme               park,               6               Flags,               or               a               similar               amusement               park,               then               stay               to               see               a               few               of               the               satellite               attractions.

The               local               citizens               of               course               were               welcome               o               see               the               shows               as               they               came               out               but               the               hotels               and               restaurants               and               other               attractions               were               designed               to               serve               the               incoming               tourists.

This               format               is               used               successfully               in               Gatlinburg               with               Dollywood               and               the               Smokey               Mountains               being               the               major               tourist               attractions.
               As               discontent               grew               and               suspicions               mounted               about               the               use               of               tax               payer               money,               the               city               finally               renegotiated               the               deal               with               Randy               Parton.

This               deal               was               still               done               in               closed               sessions               with               the               original               deal               still               shrouded               in               secrecy.

The               new               deal               was               once               again               told               to               the               citizens               after               the               fact.
               When               Randy               Paton               left               and               the               new               management               company               took               over               the               theater               management               it               was               once               again               done               in               closed               session.

A               deal               for               up               to               five               years               is               being               negotiated               with               this               company               from               Boston.

The               citizens               once               again               are               being               shut               out               of               the               proceedings.

The               new               management               company               has               renamed               the               theater               and               diversified               the               entertainment               at               the               theater.

This               pretty               well               concludes               the               trip               down               memory               lane.

Now,               you               ask,               what               is               the               point               and               what               does               it               have               to               do               with               we               the               people?
               Those               are               good               questions               and               will               be               answered.

The               point               is               that               the               city               changed               direction               on               this               theater               wice               without               consulting               the               citizens               in               advance.
               How               did               they               change               direction               twice?

I               thought               you               might               catch               that.

The               Ranbdy               Parton               Theater               had               its               intended               audience               being               tourists               from               around               the               region               and               around               the               country.

The               new               management               company               has               apparently               focused               on               the               citizens               of               the               Roanoke               Valley               as               it's               intended               audience.

These               are               both               changes               from               our               traditional               industry               based               economy.

The               common               thread               that               runs               through               this               is               that               at               every               opportunity               from               start               to               finish               in               this               project,               the               city               has               told               the               citizens               after               the               fact,               rather               than               sought               input               from               the               citizensabout               this               new               direction               and               the               wisdom               of               the               whole               project.

The               city               probably               missed               out               on               a               lot               of               good               input               from               the               citizens.

A               lot               of               the               carping               about               the               type               of               music               involved               and               the               performer               was               more               due               to               the               citizens               being               left               out               and               responding               by               nitpicking               the               project               than               actual               dissatisfaction               with               the               performances.
               We               the               people               have               been               excluded               from               most               of               the               planning               details               of               this               project.

Some               basic               ways               we               have               been               excluded               are               closed               sessions               of               the               city               council,               private               welcoming               parties               for               the               people               involved,               with               exclusion               economically               from               participation,               and               agendas               set               in               advance               for               open               city               council               meetings               that               deliberately               prevents               financial               questions               from               being               asked.

What               is               economic               exclusion?

It               is               excluding               people               from               functions               by               setting               conditions               that               the               average               person               cannot               afford.

An               example               of               this               would               be               selling               bonds               to               help[               finance               a               project,               with               the               bonds               conveniently               grouped               in               million               dollar               blocks.

This               certainly               cuts               down               on               the               number               of               people               who               can               afford               to               participate               and               have               a               say               in               the               project               accordingly.

When               the               Partons               came               to               town,               why               wasn't               it               made               inclusive?

Perhaps               a               pig               roasting               contest               at               Centenial               Park               with               the               whole               community               invited.

Instead               it               was               a               reception               at               the               country               club.

When               the               new               theater               manager               came               to               town,               instead               of               just               a               luncheon               at               the               chamber               of               commerce,               why               not               a               reception               at               hte               park?

The               theater               is               owned               by               all               the               citizens,               not               just               the               city               government               and               a               handful               of               socalled               leading               citizens.

These               people               need               to               rub               shoulders               with               all               of               us               and               get               to               know               the               people               of               this               community               who               actually               do               own               and               support               the               theater.
               Most               important               of               all               is               the               juncture               we               finds               ourselves               at.

The               city               government               has               to               find               a               way               to               bring               the               local               people               into               this               if               the               entertainment               district               is               to               succeed.

The               first               decision               the               citizens               should               decide               is               whether               we               should               keep               the               theater               or               sell               it.
               Personally,               I               would               vote               to               sell               it.

The               only               entertainment               the               mayor               and               city               council               need               to               be               in               charge               of               is               open,               honest               city               council               meetings               where               all               people               can               have               a               say               on               all               subjects.

If               we               are               to               keep               the               theater               the               following               recommendations               should               be               considered:
               Elect               a               seven               member               board               of               directors               to               oversee               the               theater.

Unicco               should               report               to               them,               and               the               board               of               directors               can               report               to               the               city               council.

These               directors               should               be               elected               with               anyone               who               qualifies               to               holed               elective               office               eligible               to               run.

The               terms               of               office               should               be               3               year               staggered               terms               to               give               stability.

Encourage               local               citizens               to               run.

Give               the               people               some               ownership               in               this.
               Modify               the               agreement               with               Unicco               to               a               one               year               contract.

An               emergency               sole               source               contract               was               justified               under               the               conditions               given               
               when               the               city               took               over               the               theater.

It               should               never               be               a               five               year               contract               without               competitive               bids               being               taken               and               made               public.

Take               bids               from               management               groups               from               Nashville,               Branson,               Los               Angeles,               etc               and               make               the               bids               public               so               we               can               all               see               to               our               satisfaction               that               there               is               no               favoritism               or               sweetheart               deals               being               given               when               the               bid               is               awarded.

Obviously               Unicco               would               have               a               competitive               chance               in               this               process.
               Give               the               local               people               buy               in.

Make               the               local               people               feel               a               part               of               the               project.

Have               a               name               the               theater               contest.

Let               the               local               people               submit               suggested               names               and               logos               to               the               new               board               of               directors.

Its               the               peoples               theater,               let               hem               pick               its               name               and               logo.

If               the               local               people               feel               like               they               have               a               sense               of               ownership               in               this,               I               would               guess               that               public               support               will               go               up.
               Sell               the               local               people               stock               in               the               theater.

Make               the               stock               reasonably               affordable.

That               way               we               can               all               share               economically               in               the               success               of               the               project.
               In               closing               I               would               say               that               the               city               government               needs               to               be               reminded               that               they               work               for               we               the               people.

The               common               theme               from               beginning               to               end               in               this               has               been               that               the               sharpshooting               and               carping               in               part               comes               from               excluding               the               people               from               ownership.

The               sad               part               is               that               the               city               government               just               doesn't               seem               to               get               it.

They               keep               duplicating               their               mistakes               by               continuing               to               make               decisions               first               and               ask               the               consent               of               the               governed               later.

I               have               a               feeling               that               over               the               next               few               years               everyone               in               city               government               will               get               it               as               they               have               to               stand               for               re-election.
