		<description><![CDATA[In response to &quot; Job well done&quot;,  what infrastructure development and the expansion of a town park system to facilitate family oriented, recreational events have been made? Purchasing 145 acres for 1.9 million dollars is progress? Where did the money come from for the purchase of that land and did the residents of Indian Trail have a voice on how that money was to be spent? NO!!! 

  Indian Trail can&#039;t maintain their $400,000 Crossing Paths Park opened last year. Any public restrooms at the Crossing Paths Park? NO!!! Is the water feature in the park in working order? NO! Roof of the amphitheater damaged? YES! Is the children play area enclosed? NO! How many people use the park? Very few!

  The residents of Indian Trail are the CEO&#039;s of Indian Trail, NOT  the Town Manager, five Council Members or the Mayor!  The previous Council ignored the voices of the residents as are some of the present Council Members are doing so now! Mr. Aldrich is more than welcome to discuss with me how the previous Council was there to HELP the residents of Indian Trail when they were in office! There was such a great out pouring of support for Picketts Circle by the Town Council last year. Yeah right!

   The comment of bringing &quot;dignity back to the office of Mayor&quot;. There was dignity in that office. One problem with that  comment was some of the previous Council Members gave John Quinn grief in the government e-mail system when the Mayor  responded to e-mails that were NOT of any concern to the other Council members. I have proof of that if Mr. Aldrich would like to see those e-mails! Council members bullied then Mayor John Quinn when he made valid points during discussion items.  John Quinn was continuously disrespected each time he had an opinion on any situation.  When Mayor Quinn tried to speak out with his diversity of views there seem to be a double standard! 

   Council members disrespected him and the office of Mayor while a few thought their job as Town Council member was a social party status position only! Mayor Alvarez has only been in office for a few months. Save the accolades until he has deserved them!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In regards to &quot;Job well done&quot;, remind me again why people voted for those of us who were elected last fall? Was it to continue the agenda of the prior council? I don&#039;t think so. Our opposition ran on Parks, Bike Paths and Economic Development, the same agenda of the prior council, and they were defeated. Then we act on the results by doing what our opposition proposed. At the current direction of the Council, Indian Trail will see a dramatic tax increase within two or three years due to amenities that are sold on the idea that they improve &quot;quality of life&quot;. As for me, keep my taxes low and my government small, and life will be &quot;quality&quot; enough.]]></description>
