Lynn C. Schulman

What he meant is that the city council, because of proposals that were done last year that were voted on in the city charter and that are up for

a vote this November, the city council will be excluded from certain projects to have any input on.

Lynn C. Schulman

Lynn C. Schulman

So I just want that to be known.
