This is so typical of Piehl to make a statement he knows to be a lie. It is my contention that no one heard my misgivings because David Piehl, et.al. had so poisoned the well that no person of color (who comprised most of the board at the time) would hear anything from a white person in the neighborhood. When I came on the board race relations in Central had sunk to an all time low and people of color on the board would no longer trust what anyone white person had to say. Those board members held up specific people as reasons why they were unwilling to trust and you, David, were at the top of the list.

Robert Woods is of particular interest to the feds, per the article "Meanwhile, federal investigators have shown interest in Woods. The Department of Housing and Urban Development subpoenaed his transcripts from Washington University and the University of Minnesota law school. Woods filed a lawsuit in February in an effort to quash the subpoenas; the suit was later dismissed." - Steve Brandt wrote articles a few years back about this subject.
I still wonder why Wizard Marks and Basim Sabri brought the same Robert Woods to Central Neighborhood in 2000; no woder the current board is still having trouble!
