“And I think we've gotten off on some personals and beating around the bush and be transparent and say what you say and mean what you mean so that we can get through this. Our children are suffering because of foolishness like this. We got to get past all of that, people. We have to get past. It's not about all of that. But this decision tonight is about Lake City's future. We talk about crime. What can we do? Where do we go from here? We talk about crime. And the majority of it is in our young people. We say we don't have recreation. What are we going to do for recreation? We don't have…”

“We have it right here. Richardson Community Center has been our saving grace for STEAM, science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. And how can we pull out now? Because we're, they asked for $100,000. So we should not put their money in a cubby and then it be distributed out to them as we requested. They've been our saving grace.

“Mayor, I have spoken with both sides. And for the record, this has been, I've been working on this, working with the community, talking to the pastors, wanting to bring everybody collectively to work for our community. So my question is, to the pastors was, are you all willing to come out? Will you come out and work with the community and let's get in our proper perspective, the church.
