I thought the last RG total on the empty lot for City Hall was almost 8 million and that did not include the fees for renting office space or the on-going costs of the land swap.  I hope that the RG will do an update article on costs thus far for additional clarity.  Many did not want City Hall torn down and it probably would not have happened if accurate figures had been given regarding the tearing down and rebuilding.  The City Council was not even ""kept in the loop"" when costs went far over budget.  There is no way that I would give a blank check for any more spending on this project without an independent, elected auditor who answers to the residents of Eugene.
