South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />regular Meeting - February 4, 1994 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) <br />c. continued... <br />plant. And we, the people who live here, are <br />part of South Bend. We are all connected. <br />What affects one does affect the others. I <br />believe South Bend is worth fighting for, not <br />just for my family, but five families and <br />industry that live and continue to grow here <br />in South Bend. <br />The growing concentration of social service <br />institutions on South Michigan, a registered, <br />now, blighted area, as stated in recent title <br />commitment, that is travelled daily as an <br />artery on U.S. 31 South, into South Bend, is <br />truly quite a welcome mat to this street of <br />shame to a possible hall of fame. The <br />juvenile detention center is not only a <br />question of price, but also a question of the <br />ability of pay. Confusing the tax payers with <br />a blizzard of facts and figures has been a <br />technique that our local government is at its <br />best. The extreme excellence of your <br />accomplishments will be the passing of the <br />option tax. Numerous personnel in the <br />administration making these plans to relocate <br />us to not even live in the City. They have <br />fled to the suburbs. You cannot run South <br />Bend by the people who do not live here in <br />the city. South Bend will not be saved by the <br />people who feel too condemned to live here, <br />who can hardly wait to move to Mishawaka. <br />South Bend will be saved by people who like <br />it here. The people who prefer the <br />neighborhood stores, activities at the Morris <br />Civic, to eat in nice restaurants and not <br />worry about the education of their own <br />children. <br />-32- <br />
