We have money in the bank, great neighborhoods, we're fanatics about cleanliness, crime is down. The City Council and I don't agree about everything but we've worked together well.
I have no ulterior motive than to help small businesses.
This was a legitimate concern for us. This wasn't just picking up bread and milk. We had hardcore data showing it would slow our response times down by this much.
We would try to block the auction if they try to sell the license. It's city policy that we do that. The license is for the business that you give it to.
I am very, very happy. This is better than we anticipated. We made our case and we made it well.
