Water world has already been bought out by six flags. City should steal the wf resort considering Brentwood. Locate them by the water.

prop 13 has been worked around now by most cities passing assessments which in most areas of CA are now equal to property tax amounts. this state is on track to drive out most wage earners to other states as a result. Union pensions are the problem throughout CA. We need a law passed to renegotiate them before bankruptcy. With everyone living longer and healthier we cannot afford 50 year olds a full pention benefit. Ridiculous in the private sector.

We need more police. Like 200 police officers total. Would Water World invest in a high crime city and expect sufficient investment returns? If the city goes bankrupt, won’t all the city assets be auctioned off to the highest bidder? Antioch has to be Safe and Beautiful. That’s job number one! Nothing else matters, it’s all secondary to beauty and safety. And Volunteers can’t do it all by themselves.

Let it go broke, Marty. Let real leaders step in and fix it after the dust settles.

There is no hope in Antioch, only criminal filth. Let it fall under its own weight of BS so we can rebuild a new city.

RJB There is no one to clean up the mess but the tax payers. The pensions would be cut but we would still be on the hook!

They ARE using this for the passage of MEASURE C for another 2 years. All that would do is extend the bankruptcy 2 more years. It will still happen. Do not vote for the extension of Measure C. NO NO NO. They should have filed for bankruptcy back about the time Vallejo did and this mess would have been cleaned up. The weak leaders Kris Hunt is talking about are Wilson, Ogorchok, and Tiscareno. Shame on them.

Thanks Allen, I’m glad you listen to people and engage with them. It means a lot. Yes, what you said above; is a great idea. I was going to mention that about Water World. Thanks for posting that. Getting those assets off the back of the City, including the Marina and Humphrey’s I feel would be a relief. Antioch cannot and should not support ventures whose maintenance can or does end up on the taxpayers. The City needs to make practical choices and stick within the budget, spending below budget would be a novel idea too.

No matter how much money you give to city council, this disgusting city will still be broke because all of your tax dollars goes to proving city services for the ghetto hood rats that use up the majority of police services.

LET IT GO BROKE AND BANKRUPT. WE NEED A RESET. LET OTHER GOVERNMENT ENTITIES STEP IN AND CLEAN THIS MESS.
