I am confused. I do not understand why the motion to discuss Historic language was not
allowed to be open for discussion at Tuesday's meeting. Please explain that. And whywould you choose to weigh survey results of renters heavier than owners? Why does anyone's
opinion matter more? Mr. Fischer, when you spoke about the pride flag, you said that you didnot want to pick sides, yet this is clearly picking sides. Why is that ok with NCOD language
and not with the pride flag? Name another issue that allows one group to be weighted morethan the other? Please let me know where else that is the norm. And are you giving more
agency to those who do not vote? Voting is how we make our voices heard. Why are yougiving less agency to voters? Keep hope alive, Mary Lou Osman
