Symphonic musician<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;Reporting issues the Musicians Union doesn&#8217;t dare to mention &#8211; National touring musician<\/p>\n<p>===================================<\/p>\n<p>I. LOCAL 47 ICONIC BUILDING SELLS, Apparently.<\/p>\n<p>It was reported from Local 47 that the Local 47 Building has been<br \/>\nsold for 24.75 Million.<\/p>\n<p>In November, 2016 the Musician&#8217;s Club voted to open escrow on a<br \/>\nBurbank property different than the property initially used as a<br \/>\npossibility while promoting the referendum&#8230;and 3 million dollars<br \/>\nover the stated projection (Total cost &#8211; 13 million) The original<\/p>\n<p>asking price on the current building was 12 million in May,<\/p>\n<p>though we offered 13 million.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Why the extra? According to sources, the present owner knows<\/p>\n<p>the Burbank Airport will be expanding and feels the building<\/p>\n<p>will be worth more than listed.<\/p>\n<p>Also, apparently the Club has spent money (our money) hand over fist<br \/>\nin lawyers fees. They had to. What did they know about anything?<br \/>\nWas there anybody on the board with any kind of expertise?<\/p>\n<p>PROPERTY TAXES<\/p>\n<p>Property taxes are a fixed expense. In the promoting of the referendum,<br \/>\nthe membership was told that the initial property had three tenants<br \/>\nthat would cover the property taxes, (more than three times what<br \/>\nwe pay now). The new property does not appear to have that benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a link to the proposed building:<br \/>\nLoopNet internet listing.<br \/>\nAccording to LoopNet there is a sublease listed until 2019.<br \/>\nHow does that affect us?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.loopnet.com\/Listing\/19886399\/3220-Winona-Ave-Burbank-CA\/\">http:\/\/www.loopnet.com\/Listing\/19886399\/3220-Winona-Ave-Burbank-CA\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Couldn&#8217;t the local have given us all this info in the email blast?<br \/>\nOf course they could, but why give the full picture when they<br \/>\ncan keep members in the dark.

MEMBER COMMENT<\/p>\n<p>RE: COLORADO SYMPHONY<\/p>\n<p>So this orchestra (COLORADO SYMPHONY) is blocked from coming<br \/>\nup with an agreement that works for them. Blocked from an agreement<br \/>\ntailored to their needs in their marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile in Ray Hair\u2019s backyard, the Dallas Bach Society, The<br \/>\nRichardson Symphony, The Dallas Pops, and the Fort Worth Symphony<br \/>\nare all on the AFM international unfair list.<\/p>\n<p>These groups are all in the jurisdiction of Local 72-147 Dallas-Fort<br \/>\nWorth where Ray Hair was elected president of the Fort Worth local in<br \/>\n1983, merging with Dallas in 1991. The Philadelphia Orchestra just<br \/>\ngot a new contract with their daring Wildcat walkout\u2026Pittsburgh just<br \/>\ngot a new agreement.<\/p>\n<p>But we have this fustercluck going on in the president of the AFM\u2019s<br \/>\nbackyard!<\/p>\n<p>NAME WITHHELD<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[EC: We&#8217;d certainly like to learn more about the reasons all these<\/p>\n<p>72-147 groups wound up on the unfair list.
