FROM : CITY_OF_PEQUOT_LAKES FAX NO. : 2185687229 Mar. 03 2004 02:33PM P4 <br /> bet the whose bag of marbels on your opinions. As I explained to you on the phone, I <br /> am likely sitting in the best situation in town. I have a great location in a town that <br /> almost has a year'round economy, albeit next to a restaurant that your staff allowed to <br /> be built with too many seats for the parking that is available. If this bypass comes, my <br /> lease is structured as such that I can simply pack up and move on to another location <br /> before you know what hits the fan. If I choose to stay and see if you are right, I can do <br /> so without any liability to myself of having a building that may no longer have any real <br /> value. If it doesn't work out so well, I will be one of the cheap ones in line at City Hall <br /> for some of those grants to relocate. It should only take $80-90,000 in today's dollars. <br /> I have been and will remain very vocal on this subject as long as the debate <br /> remains. When the day comes that one side wins and the other loses, regardless of <br /> the decision, I will do everything in my power to ensure we make the best of the <br /> situation and the town has every chance to prosper. I will not waste my time running <br /> around saying "I told you so" if our side did not get our way. <br /> However, I'm just a person with an opinion. I am within my rights to state my <br /> opinion in any manner I wish. You have a right to your opnion and likewise are free to <br /> exercise your free speech. My issue with you is that your bias has been allowed to <br /> steer the planning of our community down a one-way street. You have come to the <br /> position that the wishes of the elected leadership do not conform with your agenda. <br /> You have chosen to attempt to change the decision of the people to meet the sum <br /> conclusion of a few individuals. You have not planned your end project to allow any <br /> options other than the bypass route that you support. You have continued to engage in <br /> work on behalf of the City of Pequot Lakes with an ever present conflict of interest. It is <br /> for this reason that I will publicly.call for your termination. It is for this reason that I will <br /> write to the leaders of the City to request your termination. It is the reason that I <br /> request your resignation. <br /> You stated on the phone that you wished for this not to turn into a personal or <br /> slanderous issue. It is not. I know absolutely nothing about you as a person so it is <br /> impossible for this to be personal. It is apparent to me however,that you will not seek <br /> to find a workable solution for any option other than your own. <br /> I hope this clarifies my position. You can throw this away or respond telling me <br /> where to shove it. It's a free world and thank God for that <br /> Respectful) ubmitt <br /> Thomas . Jo son <br />
