Dear Editor:
I stand by my statement of two weeks ago: Mike Lenz is the best choice for City Council and essential to getting a southwest park.
While there’s still much to be done to make the park a reality, the one thing that would destroy the prospect forever would be a return to the willy-nilly distribution of zoning variances that have come to a screeching halt under this administration and council majority. With three Zoning Board seats up in December that could move that board in a very different trajectory, the importance of a continued reform council majority to the goal of a southwest park could not be clearer, except to some people who are more concerned about wielding ownership of the park issue and pursuing a revenge fantasy than actually getting a park.
Once again, the choice voters face this Tuesday is between continued incremental change in the right direction or a sharp, swift reversal to the ways of the past. Please vote for Mike Lenz this Tuesday for continued progress.
Sincerely,
Jake Stuiver
