Lawsuit filed to void $500 Million Maid of the Mist Lease
A lawsuit was filed on February 26, 2009 against The Niagara Parks Commission and Maid of the Mist (boat ride at Niagara Falls). The lawsuit asks the Divisional Court to issue a mandatory order requiring the Niagara Parks Commission to adhere to Corporate Policy CPM-03-02, the Niagara Parks Procurement Policy. That policy provides specific requirements for seeking competitive bids for goods and services.
Maid of the Mist was secretly given a 20-year lease that is estimated to generate over $500 million for Maid of the Mist. It is believed that the lease will pay $78 million to The Niagara Parks Commission, but other parties asked to bid and were denied. William M. Windsor says he and Alcatraz Media will submit a bid that should pay double – $156 million to The Niagara Parks Commission.
Many stories have been written about this in Niagara Falls. Complete details of this controversy are available at www.NiagaraFallsBid.com.
