REGULAR MEETING MAY 24, 1971 CITIZENS REQUESTS -- MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS (Continued) These are but a few reasons the County Council acted as they did and as far as I am con- cerned, will continue to do so until some action is taken to correct these deviations. The taxpayers are already over burdened with bright ideas costing millions of dollars for questionable programs. It's about time that you and your great city father wake up to the fact that there are some branches of Government that won't bow under your pressure, but instead work for the taxpayer. In my opinion the Common Council would be doing the citizens of South Bend a great dis- service in providing any supplemental funds to MACOG. We have not killed MACOG. We are merely keeping a harness on it so it will be answerable to the people - -not the people to it. Thank you. Richard Larrison St. Joe County Council" Mrs. Lee Swan, 2022 Swygart, South Bend, spoke unfavorably about the new no burning ordinance stating that if wrecked cars could be burned, she felt that she could burn her papers. Mr. Roman J. Kowalski, 802 Birchway, South Bend, requested a report from the Economic Development Commission.
