Major Point of Interest

I am going to to my article on the the revitalization of downtown Oshkosh. I am going give the opinions of what the council members think we should do in the next few years with the downtown area. Obviously the downtown area is older and many renovations wil need to be made, in addition to new develpment. I will argue the conflicting interests of each candidate on behalf of how we should allocate our city's budget to help revitalize the downtown area. Bain and Maddox are ust two of the candidates in favor of putting millions into the area for outside vistors and a real downtown "mystique". They want to allocate more money to lure more business owners to the downtown area and help build a larger tax base, which is a major problem with the city. More jobs and a more after 5:00 downtown area. However, in support of the revitalization of the downtown area, Poeshel and Hentz believe our downtown area is not a major priority to the city. They would like to see less money spend on the downtown area and more on other areas, such as roads and public works officals.
