Centennial would welcome "Big Box Walmart"!!!
If Littleton votes against having Walmart on the west side of Santa Fe, the city of Centennial would or should surely welcome it to locate in our beloved city. We really do need the sales tax revenues which would be generated by the store. We need these revenues to help pay for Mayor Randy Pye "IN THE SKI"'S PAY CHECK AS OUR "BELOVED" MAYOR. I see nothing wrong with another Walmart in this part of the metro area. They offer good merchandise at reasonable prices. I will bet that most of the "againster's" are regular shoppers at Walmart. However, I hope Littleton's Planning Commission votes against having Walmart on the west side of Santa Fe. Then, that would give "Pye In The Sky" a chance to pounch on the opportunity and encourage Walmart to locate within Centennial.

This is what happens when you listen a Politician
Contributed by: Thomas Roberts   on 7/18/2007

Yesterday, I went over to Sears at the former Southglenn Mall site to purchase something. I asked one of the employees why wasn't there any "progress" in getting the former Southglenn mall site rebuilt to start "generating" sales taxes for Mayor Randy's Pye's city of Centennial. I was told, the underwriter or source of funding for some MILLION DOLLAR LOFTS has withdrawn its financial resources.

Ha Ha, Ha Ha, Ha Ha. I am so darn happy to hear about that!! I hope this "renewal" project planned for this site drags, on, and on, and on, and on. I hope it gets so screwed up that nothing will happen for many years. Due to the "Farsighted thinking and efforts" of some people, including a former Arapahoe County Commissioner, the "mushroomed" voters, in effect, "killed the goose" which was laying "golden eggs" in the way of a source of sales taxes to support the community.

By incorporating this part of Arapahoe County into the stupid named "City of Centennial" (which nobody knows how to spell, i.e. two n's or one n), and after promising not to tax automobiles, and after relying on "so-called" faulty information, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, the Mayor came back the very next year and begged us all to approve an increase of sales taxes, including the taxing of automobiles. What a joke! I have always felt it was all a scheme to con the voters into approving something that sure didn't need fixing by this stupid incorporation election.

We were sooooooooooo worried about Greenwood Village taking over all of the commercial properties in this area. Now, what do we have? We have a torn-down, and formerly successful mall which was a good source of sales tax revenues. Now, except for only two remaining stores generating "city sales tax revenues", resulting in the same net result of if GV had taken them over. By "raising the sales taxes at Southglenn mall to the same or close to the same as Park Meadows and other malls, this "Killed" the advantages of buying goods at Southglenn.

The net result is, we have lost a wonderful, close, convenient shopping mall, and now have a "real eyesore" in its place. I hope this eyesore remains for a long time to remind the "mushroom" voters "you can never believe anything the politicians and their buddies say"
