Mayor Fritz Schramma was appalled by the explosion of costs: "For those planning quality I lack any understanding. Until there are reliable figures, it will stop the planning. "
At the basic decision to clean up but he holds fast. Similarly, Ralph Sterck, OB-candidates of the FDP: "The supervision could dichtmachen the ailing opera every day. If we now change sides on a new building elsewhere, we would have for years. "
"The cost increase makes a speechless," said Juergen Roters. The OB-candidate of the SPD and the Greens continued: "Now have all the facts on the table."
The OB-candidate of the CDU, Peter Kurth: "Given the explosion in costs and poor planning can not now be easily draufgesattelt. All alternatives must be examined. "
