Ya, I saw the completed building and it made me sick too!!  Hard to
believe that the elegant and stately library came from the same mind
as the glitzy and cheezy Ford center.  

Sorry to be glib about your post.  I KNOW that you meant that seeing
people turned away from shelters made you sick, and I have similar
feelings.  There's a lot of money being thrown around with some pretty
twisted priorities, for sure.  I'm not sure how much the city paid
towards the Ford Center, but I think that Drabinski was footing the
major part of that bill.
