>> Even though the taxpayers have clearly shown that they don't want to keep the Astrodome, Judge Emmett is too dense to understand it. �He's going to spend $64,000 to have it pressure washed. �What a dumb***!!!
@Retired_Engineer:
Quit reading the chronicle...it's actually cheaper to keep it as is than to demo the dome. The taxpayers voted down repurposing the astrodome not demoing it. The money for pressure washing the dome came from the auction of memorabilia earlier in the year. While getting rid of the astrodome seems to be the popular choice, that hasn't came up for a vote for county residents.
@iCarr: �True, we voted not to repurpose it. �Demolishing it WILL cost money. �So, your answer is to let it sit?! �And you're OK with spending money (however earned) keeping it clean? �That doesn't make sense.p.s. �You must read the Chronicle too!
@Retired_Engineer:
Must know all aspects so yes I have been guilty of reading the chronicle.
Until the vote comes before the voters for demolishing the astrodome I don't see any problems trying to maintain it.
Demo is said to cost a min. of 70 mil. so that's at least 70 years of it just sitting there being an eye sore.
I have many fond sentimental memories of the dome. But when the demoing vote comes up I will vote to get rid of it until then let's keep it clean and less of an eye sore. 4951
