The city of Bismarck, led by Mayor Mike Seminary and Commissioner Parrell Grossman wanted this publicly owned property to end up as part of the Five South project - regardless of the fact it was going to be a cash loss to the city, and a paper loss as far as the real value of the property.
This sale was part of an agenda rather than a financial plan.
The Bismarck City Commission thinks it is an investment firm, using public dollars to help well connected political interests do what they want without having to raise the funds and pay a fair market price.
The Bismarck City Commission is horrible at investing because they use your money like monopoly money.
With fake excuses being made to justify the sale being proven false THIS WEEK, Bismarck taxpayers and voters need to wonder what their elected officials are really doing. Because it is not standing up for the public's interests.
