Council,
I wish to express my regret over the remarks made at Cermak's Auto Shop as reported in a recent edition of the Press
Citizen. I hope that if he has not yet done so, Mr Cermak will offer a personal apology to the customers he threatened by
his line of questioning and that the matter is not dropped until he has done that as well as been ordered to receive some
sensitivity training around this matter. Furthermore, the incident shouldl be reported to the Southern Poverty Law
Center, which tracks these sorts of things throughout the country.
On a completely different note, please do not light up the Red Mall with the 'canopy lights'. Downtown is a jewel, but it's
not the only place in the City where there is money needed to do improvements of all sorts. The City has been
exceedingly generous to the Downtown Association over the years, but it is time to slow down until the money picture
becomes clearer and until there is a more equitable distribution of limited dollars throughout the City.
