I appreciate your constructive position on this, which says a lot about your character. Please continue to focus on healing the bitter wounds this has caused our hometown. I’m not sure I share all of your ideas about dealing with discrimination and bullying in our schools, but I have the feeling you would at least listen to my views and find consensus where it does exist. Good luck to you, sir.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate your constructive input. I certainly will continue to work to bridge the divide in the community. Our city deserves it.

Weren’t you on the DDC and on a subcommittee? Why is the plan so flawed since you were a part of it?

My team worked in a very specific area. I had no purview over any of the areas where the obvious flaws were included. But, let's not pretend that we're here BECAUSE of the plan. We're HERE because of the decision to take (force) a vote, which, in and of itself, was unconscionable.
