Fix The Plan: Rapid City civic center's future

Rapid City's Civic Center is in need of upgrades to conform to the ADA. The city's solution to spend $180 million to add onto the center rather than just fix the deficiencies was shot down in the March 10 public vote. Now a simpler less extravagant plan is called for.

Why this blog

I started this blog because I believe that the way a city spends its money shows the character of that city. At the same time Rapid City planned to expand their civic center way beyond what it needs at this time, the school district was laying off teachers and staff because it is being starved of funds. I am proud of the education I got here from kindergarten through the 9th grade and I want to make certain that our schools are well-funded and stable.
