I came here to say this!! I'm surprised, but excited by the outcome! Hopefully more money will be available to be spread throughout the core.

I don't see the City borrowing that amount of money, even for long-standing infrastructure needs. Can the City give itself a "breadbox loan"?

In a twist of fate, COJ will now be asking Khan for a bread box loan to address infrastructure issues!
