Reinforcing the "City in the Country" and encouraging development downtown at the same time buffering that development from adjacent existing districts was/is an important part of that document - much of which is applicable today. <br /><br />She left us all empty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916367746067142134.post-5423496406145502452013-02-14T21:24:33.878-05:002013-02-14T21:24:33.878-05:00Of course she accepted council nominees.

The insult to the work and time of the 15-member committee was that she never brought it to the Council before the November election.

Every Commissioner had appointments on that Committee and had no reason not accept the final product. Her distractions resulted in a year and a half of hard work being left on a shelf.

The Council was in total havoc during that period and they only thing they did successfully was spend all the VLT funds they could get their hands on. They bonded twice illegally the Rec Center, spent over $10 million in DPS for what no one knwos. She also had a major increase when she left. This is not a credible individual and I would not put faith in any statement she would make.Her main goal in office was to get Tom McTygue out of office. During her tenure revenue remained stagnant and sales tax whix is now close to $10 million per year stayed stagnant around $8 million. That was considered the Council from hell and this one may be even worse. The last thing this city needs is the return of Valerie keehne. The only thing that would create would be another drinking partner for Eileen.That office was such a mess when she left it's lucky anyone could find anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916367746067142134.post-898387551485244082013-02-13T21:28:01.856-05:002013-02-13T21:28:01.856-05:00There is no viable explanation, Val.
