State statutes protect people who have property. And there were many, many, many rooftops approved before we became a city.
The council did not change the charter. The charter says, 'Neither the mayor or council can serve more than two consecutive four-year terms.' This is my second four-year term.
We can't change the way we do business for any entity. We have to be fair.
My concern is we are singling out an individual property owner.
I know my opponent, that's Martha Simons, has been telling people that I care about the redevelopment because I own property down there. But I care because this is where I grew up.
We have so many other areas with road and drainage needs, I have a problem with that. I've been working day and night to get Somerset Lane and Pine Avenue paved. You get to the north end of Pine Avenue and it looks like a Third World country.
I would never vote for anything like that,
I appreciate their effort and the work that they're doing, but they need to work a little bit harder.
