List of Athens Pledges

as of 28-Sep-1996

The ``matching funds'' shown were pledge dollars, ostensibly to be raised from the community. Never mind that much of the community match was actually your tax dollars, in this handy chart we see how much real money the State matched, and how much smoke and mirrors they matched with real money.

Of course in later years, the State merely matched state money with more state money. They're not all that bright in Tallahassee.

Notes on Pledges

The pledge by Marshal Bone is for foregone profit only, and represents no real money. I make a similar pledge for $100,000 in paint and supplies: if you will buy through me at my prices, I shall charge only what it costs me, including of course my cost of labor. I forego my ‘‘expected’’ profit of $100,000.

Those $1000 pledges which lead the list, and on which $0 has been paid to date, are in many cases unlikely to be paid. It is interesting to see that the director of Main Street pledged $1000 and paid nothing.

The $100 pledge from David Rigsby, on which no payment was made, is interesting because he is Mayor of DeLand. Mark Shuttleworth (Florida Victorian) also pledged $100 and paid nothing. He is a City Commissioner in Lake Helen.

Sims Kline (pled $25, pd $0) is a major advocate for historical preservation and city control of other people’s property.

Pledges from Merlin’s Vision ($100), Jessica Rose ($100), Fresco’s ($100), Deco-tiques ($200), Linda Almeida/Balloons ($250), are unlikely to be paid: the businesses are long gone.

The pledge from the Theatre Organ Society represents no money: they undertake to provide help with installation if an organ can be found.

The pledge of $25,000 from Main Street (in-kind volunteer fund-raising) represents no money. If this pledge were to have value, we would expect Main Street to be able to supply a minimum of $25,000 in cash, assuming that we spend no more than $1 for every $1 raised.
