KSYL ON WHAT IS THE SOLUTION FOR THE FULTON HOTEL?

At yesterday's Alexandria City Council meeting, an additional up to $1 million was approved for the City to expend upon the Alexander Fulton Hotel with a 7% of those expenditures going to an architectural firm on top of that.

This morning, on KSYL radio's Talk Back Pre-Show, a discussion was had about the Fulton.

WHAT TO TO ABOUT THE FULTON EXPENDITURES 2\8\2012 ON KSYL (12:25)

The show's co-host, Fred Rosenfeld, systematically shot down the callers in who advocated a federal and state criminal investigation, sitting down at the table to get us out of this mess and a voters referendum.



Although Fred admitted that the City is spending our tax dollars on the Fulton Hotel foolishly, he had no solutions to the problem other than his constant complaints.

The last caller said that the City couldn't sell the hotel anyway because it is currently tied up in bankruptcy court. Well that is simply untrue. The City owns the Fulton and Capital One simply has a mortgage over the tower. The City of Alexandria could in fact divest itself of the hotel through a lease purchase agreement and possibly a TIF. ("ONCE AGAIN THE TOWN TALK SAYS TO CLOSE THE FULTON HOTEL"). These solutions could save the City millions of dollars.

The crime of malfeasance in office (LSA-R.S. 14:134) or the civil misfeasance or nonfeasance (Roger v. Dufrene, 613 So.2d 947 (La., 1993)) could possible cover Alexandria Mayor Jacques Roy and the City Council's actions with regards to the Fulton Hotel. The Louisiana Attorney General's White Collar Crimes Section is charged with the investigation of public corruption. ("Divisions").

Also, public corruption is the number one criminal priority of the F.B.I. ("Public Corruption").
