Trojan Horse Scam, the Aquatic and Performing Arts Centers?

"...a trojan horse is an ...offer
...designed to draw potential [Marks] by offering them .
..something of value for acceptance, but following acceptance,
the buyer is forced to spend a much larger amount of money,
...by being signed into a lengthy contract, from which exit is difficult...

Think about it.

99 Blocks: The Performing Arts Center: Hurried Plans And Not Much Time

"Interim City Manager Denise Turner Roth late Friday released a memo saying she is asking the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro to form a "diverse, citywide taskforce" on the matter.

Packed with supporters?

The taskforce will hold public meetings to gauge just how much citywide interest there is in a performing arts center for downtown. And the taskforce will hire consultants to conduct an economic impact study and explore possible private funding, perhaps from investors or philanthropic foundations.

Who is going to pay for the consultants?

Who is paying for the economic impact study?

What assumptions will be used for the study?
