Councilmen Suttle on Neighborhoods, Interesting
City Councilmen Jim Suttle, Candidate for Mayor says at the City Council meeting...
“I have tried over and over and over again, with all the issues we’ve been having for the last it seems like eons of time, but year, year and a half on the these old Kum and Go locations. But I’m having a great deal of trouble. I’m just going to ask some questions today, and let them simmer for a little while, and I hope all of us in the room, whether you’re on one side of this issue or not really, really thinks about these questions. What’s the agenda? What really, really is the agenda with this issue today? Why does a neighborhood association want a store, but it doesn’t want a store? Why are we not reinforcing the free enterprise system which this country is founded upon? And which each of us enjoy under the bill of rights, the rights to live, the rights to work? What is our democratic process? I think that’s the question that goes back to the right for neighbors to be neighbors, and the rights for people to go into business. And they can go into business and succeed or they can go into business and fail. What is the role of the neighborhood association? Seems to be shifting. What is the role of the neighborhood association? And why does a neighborhood association want to promote vacant commercial in this area?”
