So for 5 years city staff worked on what has turned out to be a total boondoggle.  

Tell us RG, how much taxpayer money was wasted in this 5 yr process?   Does anyone know?  How many man hours of work went down the drain??

You add this to the other boondoggle that the new City Hall has turned into, and one really has to begin to wonder about how effectively Eugene is being managed.   The City Hall project needs to be rebooted and started over from scratch too.  

Perhaps Eugene needs a new City Manager.   If no one is going to ever be held accountable when the city screws up badly, then the city is just going to continue to be dysfunctional forever.

Is there no one in charge?  Is the City Government out of control?  Someone in Eugene's City Government needs to fall on their sword.
