Who the hell really knows,thankfully I don't expect anything from them anymore and so losses aren't much of a big deal.
Cost over-runs from construction and labor strikes is what cost us the rolling roof system. The voters approved the sports complex with the understanding that a rolling roof would be part of the deal. It was sacrificed by the Jackson County Sports Authority because of cost over runs and because (allegedly) they didn't budget in enough for access roads and parking lots.
