Commissioner Comments and Liaison Reports from the May 5, 2015 meeting...

Some interesting information about recent events in the city. Check this out. Commissioner McVoy's second set of observations involve the need to improve existing neighborhoods in order to improve the lives of those who live within it, especially those that have a record of impoverishment. It's unusual to hear that from this Commissioner as he usually doesn't talk about encouraging increases in income as part of community improvement. It's also telling, toward the end of his remarks, that he says that he's thinking about this "since he is just starting out." I think he is referring to his new term on the Commission which he achieved by winning the election in March. He actually is not just starting out. It is important to remember that he is beginning his THIRD term as a Commissioner. I wonder if there is some reluctance on his part to admit that? Hmmmmm.
