Twice, they put the convention center on the ballot and twice the citizens of Wilmington voted it down. They held several gatherings to voice their opposition, but the city council went ahead with the project. The city council doesn't give a rat's behind about what the people want. Most of them, if not all of them, have ties to developers. The people of Wilmington need to vote them out. As it stands, the council stuck it to the people of Wilmington with the convention center, but the people of Wilmington re-elected them. The people of Wilmington are simply getting what they asked for.
