“Have we ever had a building in the history of the city of Charleston that's, let's just say it's 75 years old. Let's say it's not Dash Hall. Have we ever had a building that's 75 years old in historic district that we were able to get moved in that short a period of time funded plan? Have we ever had that done? We got a lot of knowledgeable people in this room. Has that ever happened before? The answer is unequivocally no. So that's a plan that's designed to fail. It is demolition by neglect. I don't know how many council people went over and took a look at it, but I did. I actually went over…”

“Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Let us pray. Eternally, Father, as we come before you today to do the people's work, help us to come with our best of abilities.

We pray for the less fortunate…”

“Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Uh, as many of y'all remember, uh, there was a, uh, housing development on huge street that was gonna be built and we had voted to honor, uh, council member, Robert Mitchell, who served, uh, 24 years. But if you talk to him, he said it may have been 25 years, but anyway, on, on serve this community, um, that project has been delayed and quite frankly, We don't know how much time, whether that will even take place.

We've got the chief of police in here right now, and he's hearing it just like the rest of us. And if they get down there and start a party until the break of dawn, when I find this chief in the state of South Carolina and the nation, he and his team are going to see something, and they're going to do something about that. They're just not going to be able to do that. Landowners do have rights, just…”
