“Thank you, Commissioner. Commissioner Thornton. I'm actually going to make a substitute motion for number one. I really think that it probably should have been two motions, one to accept the grant money and separate on the concept. But since they're both there together, I will make that substitute motion. I've been on the phone with Commissioner Myers half this day talking about this.”

“Oh, yeah, we talked about other high rights. We had our own commission meeting. But I do think that I think there were speakers talking about all the people that were interviewed. And I guess that's relative, who you ask. That depends on where you get your information from. But I am going to go ahead on. I'm not going to make no debate. This is not one I'm going to fall on the sword on. I have some personal issues, and this ain't the place. But my substitute is one.”

“I'm going to step out on a limb here because I feel as though, well, I know how this vote is going to go. There is a meeting with Ronnie, who's here, and the meeting was before the vote, and the question was asked, if we get an extension, can we reconsider another option? Ronnie said no. So you can't tell me this stuff isn't already in line and played out enough. I don't want anybody to think I'm having conspiracy issues. I'm just telling you what goes on that my community does not benefit from. So I'm, again, like I said before, Mayor, I'm ready to vote.”

“Actually, I think Commissioner Wright answered my question because this is the first time we've ever done this like this, and I wanted to make sure that The issues, I don't want to think an issue is really important and nobody else does, and then you don't even consider it. So I think keeping up with what you're sending will be helpful.”
