  1. This Committee does not let the neighborhood people participate in the voting like NEWRA does. I also would like to comment that there should never be any restaurant owners or
    City Employees on these committees. How can a restaurant owner refuse another restaurant
    owner of getting any licenses when they already obtain one? How does a City Employee
    refuse anyone anything if the City is bringing in Revenue from everything that enters the
    neighborhood? Why hasn’t the two committees joined forces, since strength is in numbers.
    The people in the North End have to do some serious soul searching, if we the neighborhood
    people have no say in any committee, what are they in existence for, or who are they in
    existence for? Something to think about.

  3. I totally agree that the two councils be merged. It makes no sense to have two!! The reason being is that one council votes one way to support and the other votes not to support. This gives a perception that the neighborhood is divided and that a consensus does not exist on issues. I believe that anyone serving on the council who owns a restaurant or is a City employee or has a direct link to these entities be mandated to recuse themselves (be excluded) from participating in rending a vote on any issues that would be an actual conflict or perceived conflict of interest.
