Officials Kill Another Benevolent Project

 

Steve Stanley pretty much said he wanted the Meal Barrel out of Sheffield. What did some others in Sheffield say?

If the city of Sheffield is going to end The Meal Barrel’s lease at the armory, they should offer up the Inspiration Landing property with the only pothole-free roads in Sheffield as a substitute. After all, the taxpayers are footing the bill for it. Since Sheffield has so much money to spend frivolously, I’m sure they could scrape together a few thousand dollars for a building, or they could just finally admit that they have ZERO concern for the residents of this town.



Let's look at the city of Sheffield's leaders:
1. They fell for a project called Inspiration Landing about ten years ago. Where is it now? In litigation over unpaid funds to a consultant, my client.
2. Trains that stop on tracks that are car damaging crossings.
3. After the lawsuit was filed, the city took out $3M in loans to pay for the infrastructure of the roads to nowhere and we are taxed to pay for it by taxes on goods and services. The loans don't end until 2062.
4. Roads are in deplorable condition and damage vehicles
5. The lease on the Meal Barrel to assist needy people with food was terminated on Monday without notice. Needy people now don't have access to food. Penny Freeman did a great job.
6. Blight is subjective about houses and former businesses.
How long will we continue to allow this to happen? Sheffield should be a boom town with local businesses, as envisioned by my wonderful landlords. It's time for a change and its time for a new beginning. It's time for change. These issues should be in full front in the next election and there has to be new leadership, starting with the mayor. It's time for a new beginning.



If the Meal Barrel Project could appoint John Elkington to its Board of Directors, Steve Stanley would probably throw lots of money at them. Then again perhaps the distribution center could be relocated to Inspiration Landing.

Is Mayor Stanley trying to do as much damage to Sheffield that he can before leaving office in abject defeat? What is wrong with the man?
