The Alerus is a city insititution that has never, as far as I know made any money. Britney Spears is living off Grand Forks taxpayers!

Now a city building that is a big money loser is going to put in new turf for a million more than the same stuff is costing the Fabulous Fargo Dome. The alerus is anxious to get the tax payers of the state to kick in some change through UND. UND is a tenant, not an owner. Its improper for them to invest in the facility. If the facility cant recover the costs through rents there is a problem with the building, not that people arent well aware of that now.

Back to the questions:
1) why is the alerus paying a million dollars more than the Fabulous Fargo Dome for the same product?
2) Is it appropriate for the taxpayers in the state to pick up part of the tab.
I see darell was angrily accusing others of wrong doing to justify the wrongdoing going on at UND but generally pointing fingers is not acceptable as a well supported argument in your favor. It is actually an admission of failure.
Here is a look at the turfs again. This turf is costing 1 million less than the turf at the alerus, shown on the bottom. That extra million they are asking UND to pay!
