The Iconoclast turns his attention to recent news coverage of the big hole in the ground in downtown Fayetteville where a hotel was — maybe is — supposed to rise, though nothing but an eyesore has been created since 2004, when a Tax Increment Finance scheme got rolling.

They will continue to hang onto a portion of property tax increases on the property, too. Heckuva deal this TIF.
