We need a people’s council
Letter to the editor

The Steadfast project was a done deal well before the Feb. 20 city council meeting. This council group will not go down as the people's council. They are congratulating themselves and seem very satisfied with their compromise. 

Although the project scope changed from the original plan of apartments to owner townhomes, and holding on to the majority of the property as commercial, we're the ones who will have been ultimately compromised with high-density housing. Unfortunately, the current council felt their hands were tied and didn't have the motivation to fight for us. Did they even blink when presented with 2,800 signatures? 

This should be an exciting election year!
