JimmyMAC: Give The Duane Credit for Kroc Support
JimmyMAC: In all fairness to The Duane, I don't believe for a second that he is anti Kroc center. He pledged between $200-$250K to the SA for teh Kroc Center.
DFO: JimmyMAC; you are right to a big extent. Hagadone pledged $250,000. For some reason now, however, he has his tail in a knot about the project. And he has thrown his support to the Boys and Girls Club of Post Falls. All in all, he's done good by the Kroc Center, which is well on its way to achieving the $6M, and his support for the Boys and Girls Club is a welcome thing, too. He undercuts the good he's done somewhat, however, by telling Kroc Center supporters, through his newspaper minions, that they should expect little support via his news pages now. The Press would be wise to give coverage to the announcement of the $300,000 donation by the (Fall River Mills developers, I believe) today. Tongues are already wagging about the new Press approach to the Kroc Center (as it nears its goal of raising $6M) -- and the weekly column devoted to the Boys and Girls Club. 'Tis a shame that two good projects should get caught up in behind-the-scenes political turmoil.
