Letter to the editor Voice of the people Amphitheater concerns The term “dead in the water” might apply to the Amphitheater. The Dispatch stated on July 23, 2015: “Columbus planning for Amphithe- ater.” Since then our fair city along with grants, restaurant taxes and various other funds, spent $3 million on the project. It is far from completion, no seating, rest room or concession stands. A visit to the place recently showed vandals had graffiti on the brick work, trash everywhere and a door pried open. I guess the public works department didn’t have a work order on the project. Now the question is, what to do with the $3 million dollar investment? It has been flooded, even though we paid $15,500 for a “no rise analysis,” which from my understanding tells you how high the water will rise using data available. April 2017, a statement was made the first phase was completed. It’s big- ger, less likely to flood and ADA accessible. Bigger and ADA accessible were correct, but come Feb. 2019, the Tombigbee flooded and the water rose up to the stage. Remember the $15,500 “no rise certif- icate”? Minor damage to electrical panels was re- ported. No problem, except at the council meeting, Sept. 3, the docket showed $124,606.75 for elec- trical repairs to the Amphitheater. Not one of the councilmen questioned that payment. Maybe they State of the nation didn’t notice, didn’t read the docket or don’t care how our monies are spent. You decide.
