I feel the same way Pete does about condos in his  neighborhood.  I’m sure he 
 wouldn’t want a 5-story condo building a block and a half from his house.  
Given this fact, I cannot support him  in this effort. 
Hold on now. So you consider it a "fact" that Pete wouldn't want a 5 story  
condo built a block and a half from his house, because YOU are SURE of it?!? 
I'm sorry but that's pure speculation on your part and is therefore NOT a  
"fact" by definition. You're simply putting words into his mouth and recklessly  
posting it on this message board as fact. 
 
Please justify your statement that it is fact.
 


I have supported him  for as long as he has been in this town as many of you 
have.  I have frequented his store many many  times and helped to pay for the 
life styles that he and his children  enjoy.   
Life styles? LOL give me a break. Do I detect a little bitterness? Do you  
expect something in return from the many corporations whose life styles you fund 
 every single day, too? Pete is probably the most "stand up for the 
community"  business man this town could hope for. They don't make 'em like this 
anymore  gang. Seriously. This community is fortunate to have Pete and Sons. Stop 
kidding  yourselves. They could have picked up and moved on a long time ago. 
Then what  would we have. This is a classic case of not realizing what you've got.


Given the fact that our town  has supported him for as long as he’s been 
here, I would like to ask him to  support us and reconsider his proposal. I think 
if we got together we  could come up with a plan, which is significantly 
cheaper, conforms to the  MUTC guidelines, carries significantly less financial 
risk, and still provides  the financial incentive that Pete is looking for.  
Pete, I am holding out the olive  branch.  If you want my support,  meet me 
halfway.  I’ve reviewed  your plan and I’ve got a few ideas.   Let’s talk.    
I've said enough. The last portion speaks for itself. Please remove  yourself 
from the pedestal, and I will remove myself from the soap box.
 
Jay
