Meadowview Convention Center posts lost for 2008
On page 37 of the Kingsport, Tennessee 2008 Annual Report, it shows a Meadowview Convention Center operating loss of $1.3 million for the year.
Mayor Dennis Phillip and his band of followers (Mallicote, Joh, Munsey, and Shupe) want to invest $15 million more to make this convention center larger.
Over the years the Meadowview Convention Center and Cattails golf course have been subsided (borrowed) over $3 million dollars from the General Fund. This money needs to be paid back to the General Fund plus interest.
Can they spend more money on Meadowview? Yes they can! Mayor Phillips and his gang got the majority votes. Can you vote for leaders that reflect your views and positions, yes you can.
