Now, McDermott supporters wouldn't be attempting to burry this thread?
The problem here is this property seems well, let’s be kind, simply neglected; gaping hole in the side, roof collapsing, wall caving in, there are children who live and play in this area. Are some homeless living in this property?
Now this property is just east of Downtown Hammond, and Calumet Avenue. This is a mix of residential and industrial properties; poor zoning at best and a very poor, economically challenged section of Hammond.
Now I will give young Tom, the zoning problem existed before his tenure, but their is absolutely no excuse for this building not to have been leveled by the city. $1,300,000 baseball fields not in this neighborhood! Why? No political returns.
That and a mayoral credit card in which 80% of Tom's expenditures did not have receipts. Some say it was over $100,000 in credit card expenditures. And this is why Hammond has its problems!
Is anyone asking about how the city is accounting for the Concert Cash which is being raked in at the Pavilion? Is this to be another Parking fiasco ala Festival of the Lakes? BTW, Young Lendi, finally came up with an odd ball number for Festival parking revenue.
In fact, little to no services in this neighborhood, why, well they don't vote.
Tom, are you doing all you can do for our children?
Tom....
