Our family was so please when you ...Mayor Leavitt,<br /><br />Our family was so please when you were elected. I am the wife of the police officer in Vancouver & we are now struggling with the thought of him losing his job. As a wife I hear about what our officers do everyday, yet they do it for the safety of others, and are proud to serve. As a mother I am concerned about keeping our community safe, & as a citizen I am concerned with the loss of more jobs & public safety. We can not lose our police officers at such a vital time. They are to important to our community, & there has to be other ways to trim spending without losing those who serve & protect Vancouver.Souza Family of 4https://www.blogger.com/profile/12739266237783472222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669912661106248580.post-35167161640228148132010-01-15T13:06:09.092-08:002010-01-15T13:06:09.092-08:00Thank you for your interest in this issue.
At thi...Thank you for your interest in this issue.<br /><br />At this time, discussions are on the 'backburner' about AAA baseball coming to the City of Vancouver.<br /><br />I agree with you in the feeling that such a project could reap both economic and social benefits for our community.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the required level of public investment/public $$$ to the project is in the tens of millions.<br /><br />While this issue remains in the background, the Vancouver City Council has more pressing matters to deal with -- decisions about how to address some $6 million in revenue shortfall for the coming year.<br /><br />I'll continue to work on it … but it won't happen in the near future, unless the need for significant public $$$ is minimized.<br /><br />best,<br /><br />timTim Leavitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13917356189491441022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669912661106248580.post-54320466906631551082010-01-06T20:08:38.340-08:002010-01-06T20:08:38.340-08:00Mayor Leavitt, congratulations on assuming your ne...Mayor Leavitt, congratulations on assuming your new post. Best wishes to you in the coming new year and in your first term. As we begin the year news from Portland is that they are moving forward with rennovation of PGE Park. What has become of the discussions to entertain the move of the Portland Beavers to Vancouver? Given the economic situation it would be nice to see a project like that take shape in our community. Perhaps the vacant Evergreen Airfield would be a good location for a ball park!SB_BGnoreply@blogger.com
