We usually drive through the downtown area a couple of times a week. The courthouse stands stately and tall overlooking downtown and the Mississippi River. The hanging lighting fixture on the front of the courthouse and the floodlighting to the right of the courthouse have been out for sometime. I think it's been that way for several months. I was just wondering why? The main concern only seems to be with Broadway. Maybe this is another use for casino money.
I would like to make a comment on the IRS scandal. Instead of asking the guys who are testifying now, get the people who are doing the line-dancing in the video in front of Congress and ask them who OK'd the payment for the hotel rooms.
