They feel taken advantage of by the city. I have some empathy for that.

The mayor has got to send a message here, and this would be the meeting to do it. It's an important opportunity for the city to speak.

(Blair) isn't revealing anything that people are hiding. We had always hoped we would only use the interest, and we have gone past that, and we are concerned. But we are being as aggressive ... in finding other funding sources.

Doing things for yourself (self-preservation) are ok in in small doses and when necessary but over-burdening you life with your own self will weaken your heart, soul connectivity with others

Most people act/believe the way they do for a reason. If you can empathize, understand WHY, you can connect, and a deep bond of love born.

I hope to leave my children a sense of empathy and pity and a will to right social wrongs.
