So, that field was owned by a company that went B/K in 2011. Ironically, the owner was a construction contractor suing the City of Manitowoc. Wow, just WOW! Who wasn't suing Manitowoc. That list might be shorter.

I have read that before.... probably on reddit lol There are people over there that have gone through minutes of meetings, etc. When you look at things in their totality.... it really does look like there is "an old boys club" thing going on there. That being said... I don't think they are the only city/town/county that has that issue.... or even country LOL
For example, the province I live in.... new highway being built, land owned by people that shouldn't have owned the land... and they got way more for their property then they should have... it happens all over the place, unfortunately. Giving a buddy a heads up... not bidding out things that according to bylaws, they are required to be.... profiting from public money for land that was conveniently just acquired right before the province wants to buy it, but nope, they had no idea LOL
