Perhaps It Was Lynn Cathcart's Husband Who Sealed The Fate For The NO Vote?

Mr. Cathcart got up in front of the County Council as the second speaker during the public comment, (only after Debbie Campbell) and called "anyone" against the TIF was "shallow minded."

His attack against others by acting like a bully has once again failed for him. Later that evening his wife Lynn came out in a work session, (talking about Debbie Campbell) and said, "I just don't like her any more."

Last Monday evening, Terry Cohen was quoting Gary Comegys when she stated that Gary had called her a C.A.V.E. person. (Citizens Against Virtually Everything) Mike Dunn immediately gaveled Terry down and told her, "Not Here!" It was OK for Gary to call a Lady a Cave Woman but how dare Terry call him on it publicly?

The tone needs to change, the name calling needs to end and IMO, how dare the City Council try to bring into the County Council Meeting their version of the charades they subject people to in their meetings. My hope is that the County Council not stand for this kind of behavior and stick to the professional business they have brought through their own personal experience in the business world.

Might I add, it was a class act for John Cannon to open the floor to Public Comment. He didn't have to. The Council became even more educated and they were then capable of making a well balanced decision. Especially after only having 4 days to review the entire TIF!

For what it's worth,

My Mother is searching for a new place to live as we speak. She refuses to let me buy her anything, (hard headed) and the ONLY place she could find was in Edgewater at $880.00 a month rent for Senior Housing!

It's a shame we can't do better for our parents. My Grandmother is 90 years old living in a brand new apartment in Upstate New York, (1 hour outside the City) and she pays $300.00 a month! 2 bedrooms and brand new! Believe me, the taxes are 4 times what they are in Maryland and the real estate value is higher as well but they can do what's right out there?

Our Parents want their independence and pride and these days it's always at a maximum expense. And they call this a FREE Country!
