Historic District Commission Is Sinking

Mike Dunn made it very clear during the Work Session yesterday that this group is barely floating.

Shanie Shields said, people just can't afford to do things the way this group wants them done. If a Nurse wants to buy one of these homes for a reasonable price, let's say $100,000.00 and she wants to fix it up, she can't afford to do everything the way this group wants them done. You want these kind of door knobs, these kind of fixtures, they just can't afford to buy one of these houses and fix it up and these are the most affordable homes in Town.

Mike Dunn then said, how many of these properties do you know of that have been able to receive grants? Randy Taylor didn't know of one. Debbie Campbell said she knew of about 5 people that were able to do so but the question was directed at this group and they were clueless.

Mike then stated that they were sinking fast, you're not sunk yet but if this group can't make this a positive experience and a good thing for the community they're going to shut down the project, (Historic Commission) and drop it all together.

The Mayor was like a little child, walking into the room passing out little notes to Randy and others and then walking out of the room. Randy was dressed in shorts like it was 100 degrees outside, while everyone else was in suits and showing their respect towards confronting the Council. Remarks were made about his attire but he simply didn't care. He had his little Thank You note from the Mayor and that's all that counted. He'll get whatever he wants, whenever he wants it, he's a FOB. I'm not knocking you Randy, I'd just never want to be you.
