What if a particular "public opinion" simply needs proper championing by a leader? The neighborhoods are learning that they have no champion of their interests, in RT. The small scale, for profit, providers of affordable housing (us landlords) learned about RT's retreat from his inclusive rhetoric a year ago, already. He turned a blind eye, deaf ear, and his backside, toward our modest public opinions, and proposals. Keith Reitman NearNorth TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Send all posts in plain-text format. 2.
