Waste of cash to fix theatre

NANAIMO – Re: Council reluctant to discuss Centre Stage upgrades, Dec. 6.

To the Editor,

Re: Council reluctant to discuss Centre Stage upgrades, Dec. 6.

I am a businessman who owns some properties downtown including one next door to Nanaimo Centre Stage.

The city bought this piece of junk and paid too much for it to satisfy one person.

There were other avenues to take, but, as then-mayor Gary Korpan said, it was crazy.

I knew it was a bad purchase, but council, in its usual way, went ahead and spent taxpayers’ money again.

To now think that they will even consider spending more money on it makes me sick to my stomach.
