Congrats To Super Citizen Helen Burns Sharp - And Response

  • Monday, September 22, 2014

Congratulations to super-citizen Helen Burns Sharp on both her initial IDB lawsuit and on Chancellor Fleenor's ruling.  Also, I wish her well on her current action.

It's a shame that a private citizen such as Ms. Sharp has to invest so much time and money to keep a government agency honest.  Three cheers and thumbs up.  I thank her.

Thank you Helen. I do not know you but I already feel comfortable calling in you by your first name. I really appreciate your efforts for the citizens.  

We all smelled a rat, but you had the guts to put your money where your heart is, and the courts are on the taxpayers' side so far. Congratulations on the recent opinion.  You are the reason the new IDB is forming and hopefully things will change in the way our taxpayer dollars are thrown at projects.

Your recent action is surely to prevail because they repeated the same mistakes.  

Thank you again. Hopefully the good old boy, rubber stamp mentally is vanishing in this now progressive city that I love.
