Is it just me or is there something here that smells fishy?
Look at Resolution 2006-119: Recognizing The Friends Of The Jesse Lee Home As A Statewide Interest Group Dedicated To The Preservation Of The Jesse Lee Home As A City And State Priority.
Yet if you look at the packet someone has handscratched out the Jesse Lee Home as a city/state priority.
Hmmm, what is going on there? If administration didn’t have a change of heart on what they are proposing, who make this change to administration’s proposal? Perhaps the City Manager can enlighten us on this oddness this evening.
