According to the Times-Dispatch the VAPAF has hired attorney Everette G. “Buddy” Allen Jr. to assist them in resolving their dispute with Mayor Wilder.
From the article:
Foundation President Brad Armstrong said any legal costs incurred would be paid from money donated specifically for that purpose. “Not a penny of donor money toward our project would be used.”

Brad Armstrong’s quote makes absolutely no sense. If the foundation starts fundraising from the usual suspects for legal fees (which you’d assume they would), wouldn’t that detract from funds they could use for the project itself?
I believe the symphony has to push hard to get back in the Carpenter Center a LOT sooner than 30 months.
I don’t think we should give VAPAF any more opportunity to decide our future for us. This hasn’t served us well at all up to this point; there’s no reason to think otherwise.
