This is to the person that thinks a statue of the Mayor should be built at Ashley and Cross streets. Wrong, it should be the Smith Brothers. They with their actions have held up the construction of the school, which would be over half way completed by now. It means that it will not be built before the lease on Juniper Park is up. It will cost the taxpayers more for temporary class rooms until it is completed. Their actions also held up the construction of the Rail Trail for a year. Is it also possible that they brought some influence on Mrs Weilgus on the possible sale of her property to the city, as the city had been in negotiations for quite some time with her. It is my understanding that they started before the Cross Street School issue even came up.
