The Specht building situation exemplifies everything that is wrong with our country.
The people of Omaha do not want to lose buildings that are on the National Historic Registry and we CERTAINLY do not want our taxes being spent so a for-profit organization can build a headquarters and we can have another completely unnecessary parking garage.
There was a sizable protest this week, people have been vocal at city council meetings, and there’s a petition with 1,500 signatures already.
Yet, because a handful of rich assholes with incompetent, corrupt leadership in their pocket want it, the deal will go through and we’ll be stuck with a nice parking garage and ConAgra sequel.
It’s a complete joke. That’s not democracy, it’s not even oligarchy. It’s tyranny.
