"From the letter:
Ed Felien will assist Basim Sabri in dealing with government and community 
organizations. Ed Felien represented the 8th Ward, which includes the Sears property, 
as a member of the City Council from 1973 to 1975. He has lived on Powderhorn Park 
since 1970 and has published Southside Pride, a monthly community newspaper, since 
1991."

"We have added Ed Felien to our staff to maintain contact with the
Powderhorn, Central and Phillips communities and to work closely with
government agencies."

Gemgraham asked:
My first question is, where did this come from?  The second is how reliable is the 
source?  

Tom sez:

The letter is on the Pulse website, along with an article by Ed Felien.  I too, am 
saddened to see yet another well intentioned person get tangled up with the Sabri's.
