Even though I’ve been retired from city government for 10 years and spend some of my winter in Florida, I’m still an El Pasoan and pay my taxes here. This latest idea for a performance center is a total waste of money. It will net nothing in terms of a new venue. The site stinks. It’s isolated and an environmental hazard. Do you have any idea what it will cost to clean it up enough to build? Plus the noise and vibration from the railroad will undermine any performance.
