C.R. leaders’ GoDaddy push is unneighborly

Well, Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett (and his posse), you certainly revealed your integrity on snatching the rug out from under Hiawatha. Poor example of “neighborly behavior,” especially after Hiawatha extended its generosity in allowing the Cedar Rapids council use of its City Hall since the flood two years ago.
It is a free country and GoDaddy will locate where they wish, especially after being offered a very lucrative 11th-hour deal from Cedar Rapids.
Having said that, just beware, if GoDaddy accepts the $4 million assistance offer and locates in downtown Cedar Rapids, place all your valuables on the upper floors because the powers who exist have not taken one valid precaution or completed one act at preventing a future flood!
Props to Hiawatha City Council members on their continuing hard work, constant vision and most of all, their integrity!
