A gentleman from RLF was very defensive when I wrote about this a month back. He said that RLF runs because of its staff and the salary should not be questioned. He didn't acknowledge that RLF had created the blueprint for the Mall demolition that was presented in a public meeting in Donaldson Room (City Hall) four years ago. Zoning by-laws were blocking them at that time. The Planning Board is trying to smooth the process.. Eventually we all would foot the bill for the needed service enhancement.for two thousand extra people and a thousand extra cars in a confined area. Sorry I am talking like a bug on the wall. I was observing the scene with utter amazement. Various statements to hide the motive continue to be interesting! Nobody from RLF or the Plannng Board has said that they have made new plans. I did not save the drawings from 2019 assuming that the project died. Is this how the town decisions have been made in the past? Somebody not informed wants to understand! Best regards, Bijoy Misra
