grasscat, Thanks for all the info. We in Newport have been following this boondoggle since its inception. Carlisle and Hosea originally wanted the property as a walk through from their Millennium Monument to the shops at the Newport on the levee. Everyone involved either works for Carlisle or was involved in the MM project. TANK was used as the "public entity" that would be needed to steal the property. Donaghy the former GM of TANK was sent packing after the first ruling came back against TANK. He lied to east row about the studies done for the project, (he did none) and also their plans for the Dickerson Building. He claimed they were doing Historical review studies, required for the project, and for the federal funds paramount to completing the project, when in fact no study was ever started. The first hearing vetted those lies and he was shipped out. TANK almost lost their future federal funding. Claims have been made by BIF and Goodyear's attorneys that evidence was destroyed. Carlisle lied on the stand and was caught. Heard it was priceless. He had the city threaten eminent domain against someone he offered the same deal to as Fennel. I'm sure one of our illustrious Newport or County leaders knows the truth on that on. Apparently money talks though and no one is fessing up.
