ACTION ALERT: Lancaster County Board Hearing Tuesday

Originally published February 12, 2011, By Shelli Dawdy. Updated November 29, 2011. 1 Comment

The Lancaster County Board is holding a hearing on what to do with the proceeds of Lancaster Manor.

Tuesday, February 15

5:00pm

City Council / County Board Chambers

555 S. 10th St.

Lincoln, NE 68508

Board Member Brent Smoyer sent the following information about the meeting:

Now, the endowment folks are rallying to push for the immediate creation of the endowment.  While I have long said if we were fiscally in the black as a county, an endowment might be appropriate, but seeing as we are dangerously close to red, I believe we should save it (incidentally…the article has it wrong, I DON’T want it in the general fund, as that would amount to one time funds like Obama’s “Stimulus”…and I cannot support such action).

I think as much as these folks are rallying we need conservative thinkers to rally as well, so any help I can get would be most appreciated.

The hearing about the Manor Funds is FEBRUARY 15TH, AT 5:00PM in the County Board/City Council chambers.

The people who are pushing for the proceeds to be placed in an endowment have been sending out information, citing a Lincoln Journal Star editorial and article, pushing for establishing the endowment.

As Mr. Smoyer notes, they are erroneously stating that he wants the money from the proceeds to go into a general fund. He wants the proceeds to be retained in reserve due to current economic times and the status of the County's finances.

If you are a Lancaster County resident, consider attending the meeting to show support for holding the proceeds of the Lancaster Manor sale in savings to ensure there is an available reserve.
