"Reflection Point would feature a piece of public art and offer a new perspective of the Madison skyline."

The 2 words that scare me the most: "public art."

Residents ... want to know how the project will be funded.

Yeah, me too, but I have a way to cut the cost. Cut the public art. It's always, always, always bad. The money that is wasted on bad art in this city is so painful. I'd pay extra to get back to nothing. I'm not talking about the old statues. I'm talking about everything from the past 50 years. It's all bad. Really, really bad.
