The Majority of the people that attended this meeting (regarding northside property buyouts) were Slum-Lords that rent out depleted properties for a profit . These Slum-Lords had the sense to move out years ago to the south side of town .Some have had these properties for over 25 years in the hope of a neighborhood buy-out .They all know who they are I am at all of these meetings in the front row .

When Joe Adame ran against the aging Henry "Doolittle" Garrett, he promised a change in city politics. We would no longer be beholden to out of town developers and local real estate power brokers trying to pull the wool over the taxpayer's eyes with more Pie-In-The-Sky projects. Mayor Joe was going to focus our tax dollars and city staff to run the City for the locals, who, BTW, PAY THE BILLS. Candidate Joe also promised a quick & decisive finish to the Memorial Coliseum Melodrama that the former Mayor Doolittle had saddled us with for the past decade.
