Report Inappropriate Comments

Dear Marie Tyler,

I think your idea of a public hearing is a great one.

In fact, the City Council has that in every City Council meeting called "The Public Comment" section. You should attend and comment. I believe you're right. I believe that the 80,000 taxpayers that are paying the tab actually want a reduced rent for the Warwick Center for the Arts. I just don't think they believe the rent should be $1.00 per year. I don't think they will believe that either. The market rent for a building of that nature is a whole lot more than the $36,000 Mayor Solomon is asking for. I would recommend that you call a commercial real estate appraiser to compare.

2 more recommendations.

1. I wish you and everyone a "Happy St. Patricks" because that is the next big event. Notice, that I don't say "day" as you claim, and I won't until we arrive at the appropriate day to say it. If you don't like reading those good wishes, I have a simple solution. Please don't read them. See? Problem solved!

2. Please don't accuse me of having "no appreciation for culture" because I elect not to say "Happy Black History Month". That accusation is racist, insulting, slanderous, and viciously wrong. Even my worst critics haven't attacked me for wishing good tidings on people. You're the first. Talk about having no appreciation for culture. Wishing good tidings on the readers IS AN APPRECIATION FOR OUR CULTURE. You should be ashamed of yourself for making such a vile judgement.

But Happy St. Patricks to you anyway.

Happy St. Patricks everyone.
