Esslinger had concerns about a resort financing option that could have Oshkosh temporarily owning its marina or conference space. Lease money would generate revenue to payoff city tax-incremental finance borrowing.
Esslinger and even a handful of project supporters were less comfortable with the city in such a role.
“We’re not in that business, and we shouldn’t be in that business,” Esslinger said.

Isn't that exactly what we do with the current convention center? It is owned by the city and leased to the hotel, isn't it?
So, aren't we in this business already?
