The end of 2002, The Columbian signed a deal to purchase six acres south of Esther Short Park in downtown Vancouver. This deal gave the newspaper the area to construct it's new building and the gave the city land to build its Hilton hotel-convention center project. The agreement with Christensen Family Properties, with a $5 million price tag on the land.
In early 2002, Vancouver City officials approached Columbian owner, Scott Campbell about buying most of the property south of Esther Short Park, with hopes The Columbian would keep it's business downtown.
The city benefited from the deal in tax credits if development of he land began by the end of 2003. If not, the city would have forfeited a state sales tax credit worth more than $700,000 a year, plus another sales tax credit through Clark County, worth $500,000 a year.
THE COLUMBIAN IN FINANCIAL DILEMMA?....OR IS THAT WHAT THEY WANT US TO BELIEVE?
In June 1999, (before the purchase of the current site) the newspaper purchased the former Jantzen garment factory on Grand Boulevard. It had options to relocate business to this 13 acre site along State Highway 14.
Now that a possible Federal oversight, inquiry, or investigation into the corrupt Vancouver City Government, to include the Mayor's Office, the City Manager, the City Attorney, and a few top brass at the Vancouver Police Department, is The Columbian worried that the scope of the investigation may potentially include real estate deals with the city?

If anyone interested in filing a complaint with Labor and Industries Union here's another Vancouver Police fraud. A commanders firefighter husband died (great guy by the way) Well for some reason several commanders pressured the medical examiner to perform an autopsy which is highly unusual in this case. The reason being is that they want to File a presumptive disability claim. Worse yet they ordered a detective to view the autopsy on the city dime. This would not have been done for anyone else especially in a non-criminal case. Its abuse of police resources. When brought to the attention of the Chief once again his inability to lead showed itself. This is anonymous tks
