Are we bold (vote for civic center) or timid (vote against)?

"The time has come for us to reinvest in one of our community’s signature economic engines. The proposal to expand the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center by building a new multi-use arena and highly functional convention space has been methodically vetted by a diverse cross-section of seasoned professionals and citizens over the past three years.
Some of these folks have a lot of valuable history in Rapid City and others represent a new chapter in Rapid City’s history, including today’s young professionals and our youth population. That’s really what this opportunity is all about. What we are being asked to do is not that much different than what leaders and citizens in the 1970’s did for future generations, including many who will vote on March 10. We can best honor that vision by perpetuating it, not simply watching it die a slow death.
We need a new arena in order to compete with our peer cities over the next half century. Competing for people — people who will examine the civic infrastructure and lifestyle amenities of the community before deciding to call it home; people from the entire Rushmore Region who will choose to spend their time and money on entertainment, sporting events, conventions, trade shows and much more in Rapid City; and the millions of people from even farther away who visit our community every year for special events, tourism-related activities and upon whom we will be making lasting impressions for years."

I don't consider myself timid for being against this plan. I consider myself prudent.
