Lawsuit moves forward

With a March 29 trial date looming closer, the City and Beacon Theatre are preparing to hash out their differences in Hopewell circuit court HOPEWELL - As an incoming City of Hopewell Attorney, Thomas E. Lacheney was tasked with tying up several legal loose ends in the spring and summer of 2009; chief among those was securing a $1.3 million lien ...

[Wow]

I need heard a lawyer more full of himself. That quote at the end is not the statement of a professional. I guess it is just another hack in Hopewell making 100k+.

[Wow]

need=never

[Peter]

Isnt this some bullcrap from over 12 years ago-something Hopewell City Government screwed up. Let it go. This is nothing more than a PERSONAL VENDETTA at this point. I think Hopewell has many bigger issues than this.

[momoney]

it just cost the taxpayers MOMONEY

[beaconfan]

I'm sure that under the new management of the City of Hopewell the Beacon will soon assume the same aspect as several other City projects---bare land and dust blowing---or operating in the HOLE---like the Hopewell Marina--- when will it stop?

[at a glance]

Turn it into a night club.

[eieio]

It's about time the monster at the beacon is removed. All that missing $$$$$$$ will likely never be found. It would be justice if there was recovery of funds lost or missing from the beacon.

[just me]

Just like that big monster of a library, nothing but spending tax payer's money.

[Mr_Impala]

And the same usual suspects are involved and will benefit in someway.

[o get it right already]

She's not a monster! She is OEO... O EVIL ONE... get it right already..
geez you people have small minds and even simpler imaginations.. if your gonna call someone names be more creative.. monster.. lol thats hilarious.. go all out .. make her pure evil, make her the reason for all things wrong in the world.. or at least in this sad little town that we call home. i can bet that you even show your face in church every sunday. some christians just ruin it for the rest of us. or at least throw money at it to appease your soul. great pillars of the community. keep up the good work...:-)

This is true- most of this is based on CLB's hatred of the Director of the Board at the Beacon. CLB needs to let it go and focus on the City and her Ward. I dont think she will be reelected as Mayor or as a Councilor once this term is up. She has crapped on too amny people! If the City were running well and everything was up to par, then maybe I would agree in adjusting how the Board at the Beacon is run. Lets face it, the City is in the toilet and everything the City touches turns to fecal matter.

[woweeee]

you folks are seriously, mentally deranged. Collins has destroyed so much, she needs to go.

City vs personal interest. CLB wasn't even a part of the picture, when this little drama began to unfold. If anything, the last election was an attempt to circumvent this proposed outcome.

Then you talk trash about the city but you chase it down to justify the misappropriations of the Beacon's board? That really makes sense, doesn't it?

Good thing: the city can gain by acquiring the Beacon.

Bad thing: the city officials' toes aren't in the circle to be crushed, so the so-called people that say that they are for the city; board of directors of the beacon, have ultimately caused their own demise in regards to the so-called,' betterment of Hopewell'.

City, you are obviously part of C.L-B'sgroup of losers( perhaps JMP or C.L-B herself). Govt needs to stay out of business not take over everything like Bailey and Odumba are trying to do.Those two are owned by someone in the shadows. In Bailey's case, it's Hopewell's GOBs who may have something going now, but are losers just the same. Greed will kill them as much as a cancer.

[mTiNtheHeaD]

bailey CANNOT fix her own building do not give her more

[Hopeful]

The only BEACON in downtown Hopewell is our AWESOME library!!!
People that belittle the Library; how about you take a trip inside and have a look around the place!
Adults of all ages, children and teenagers, everyone utilizing and enjoying the facility and all it has to offer.

Odumbo is owned by a republican, dimwit!

As far as CLB.....you're in the woods, it's preventing you from seeing and the best choice was G. Wayne Taylor but you knew that something was definitely going to change.

Too late now.

odumbo, you are as clueless as your namesake.

Clueless? Isn't it funny how all of the clueless people call other people the same.

I never knew that we were playing "Mystery"...lmao. I thought the government was ran according to the receipts but so much for that idea.

Now, I know why the government and the people in it are there. People such as yourself have been giving some secret clues as to whom should be elected. Since, you apparently have all of the clues, it wouldn't by chance be that you gave the politician the list that you wanted to hear, would it? And then he repeated the list back to you and all of a sudden, he became your guy?

Hmm, what should I run as? A republican. What should my campaign be about? Hmmm, pro-life, anti-government the business, the way things used to be when there were 200 million less people , more jobs for people that aren't going to buy their own products and no new taxes???? oh yeah, drill baby drill!!!

Did I just win the presidential election for 2012 or did Odumbo just beat me because the earth is smaller and scientist have just found out that the earth actually needs the oil?

The next thing you'll convince me of is that cereal was bad for me, so that you can drive your car? Corn, wheat, sugar and yeast no longer for human consumption, flexfuel only...lmao. You probably wish that clock and watch makers had a school now, huh?

How many hours in a day? A year? How big was the earth? And you're worried about me being clueless? "Drill baby drill" McDonnell!!!! America is too big to fall into the ocean. How fast does an object have to spin to throw off anything that isn't nailed down? Clue: you'll find out.
