South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />if regular Meeting - February 4, 1994 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) <br />c. continued... <br />Now, a well-timed letter, received over the <br />Memorial Day weekend, stating that the City <br />of South Bend Redevelopment Commission is <br />interested in acquiring your property and they <br />will begin surveying immediately. Not <br />wanting to burden the laboring tax payers to <br />underwrite the revitalization, no abatements <br />or favors were solicited to preserve the <br />character and dignity of my parents home. <br />Why, when there are so many empty lots in <br />this county, why our property? I, a tax <br />payer, am paying you to take my business <br />and my family's home away. <br />Home ownership is good for all of us. It <br />fosters a sense of caring, commitment, and <br />responsibility toward a community. It <br />enables families to build personal assets for <br />the future. "In order for us to do a good job <br />for you and your neighbors, you need to let <br />us know how we're doing. So please call us. <br />We want to hear from you. Working <br />together we can make all of our <br />neighborhoods a great place to live, work, <br />and play." And that was written by your <br />boss, Mayor Kernan. My parents' home, our <br />family business, must not be torn down. If <br />their home and all involved can not be <br />resolved on agreeable terms, we will solicit <br />and garner public support by all available <br />means possible. We need your help. We're <br />not denying that. But you also need us. We <br />are your tax paying customers. And we are <br />your future sitting here. Thank you. <br />IL -33- <br />
