I completely agree about the coverage, and am not happy with the N&O story.
This is far from a done deal - the N&O is wrong here. Many people (including
business types) doubt they will be able to raise the $18M in private funding
for this "Event Center". Duke has been asked for $10M of that, and said no
way. But the city is oblivious to how horrible Clear Channel is, and they
need to be educated (for the future benefit of all of us in the Triangle).
This is a fight we can win - please email Durham City Council and show up on
June 7 for the vote!
