USM upgrades moving along

"The design details, everything from exactly what the exterior will look like to what kind of doorknobs will be used for the luxury suites, is now underway and should be finished up by August."

"Construction on the $22.5 million project, paid for by revenue from the new premium seating, will likely begin in spring of 2006."

Gee, didn't y'all ask me to vote for a $12M bond issue? Now you're telling me you didn't really need the money, but thought it would be better to use my money than your own? You wanted me to dig into my pocket so the fat-butts wouldn't have to foot the bill for the sky-boxes that they're going to enjoy? Or maybe you'd rather use the money to pay the AD's inflated salary (I bet no other AD at a regional university makes that much money).

The design details, everything . . . . to what kind of doorknobs will be used for the luxury suites . . . ."

May I assure that you want those doorknobs to be be keyed in in a manner which will enable the university to lock their inhabitants out of the skybox for no legitimate reason?

Here we go again. The bond issue had nothing to do with the stadium expansion. It is being funded by the sell of the luxury suites. It should make you happy since none of your tax payer money is involved.

Honey, you can build anything you want to if it doesn't involve my tax money.
