D2 Presidents went to City Council on Nov. 3. 2022, in opposition to these UDC 16-8 and 16-10. This would allow other community groups to register already where there is an established neighborhood.
They would overlap in to our neighborhoods. We got no respect or appreciation for the work we have done.
Right now our councilman is all over the place. But his constituents are of no importance.
Very disappointed that our District 2 Councilman Jalen McKee-Rodriguez was the one pushing for these amendments. He did not support the 30 neighborhood association that represent the communities in District 2. Even though the day of council he had signatures from all the presidents in opposition.
That was disrespect.
This was a fight with the same issue many of us battled in 2018 and we won. Thanks to many within the community who supported us in District 2.
It is obvious our Councilman right now is looking to get reelected and votes. This issues that really mattered to our concern were left to deaf ears. He never met with us after Council and Development committee. He says he has an open door policy not so true.
Our leadership in District 2 is weak and flawed. If our Councilman thinks he can use some of us he does not really know District 2. We cannot and will not be used.
Only time will tell where we go from here.
