Scientology offers more for aquarium land

"The church has upped its standing offer for the property and threw in a 'sizable donation' to sweeten the deal, spokesman Ben Shaw confirmed Wednesday. He declined to disclose the church's new offer but said in a statement that it 'far exceeds what the city can pay.'
The City Council is scheduled to vote on its $4.25 million deal April 20.
Shaw called the new bid a win for all: The aquarium would receive a substantial amount for its property and the donation; the city would not have to expend taxpayer dollars; and the church would be able to build a swimming pool and amenities for its members at the adjacent Oak Cove religious retreat."

Boy they really want that property.  Not for the good of the city, but so they can privatize even more of downtown.
