Statements from you guests promoting the view that everyone of military age would have to join as a reservist in order to own a gun only increase legal gun owner's suspicions that gun control advocates would use background check s as a stepping stone for much more radical restrictions.

SOHO should stop claiming they represent the majority of the residents. Very vocal opponents showing up at every meeting does not constitute the majority opposing the project. Our elected officials represent us and voted for the project. Groups like SOHO are holding us back. Winning on a technicality to stop a well-thought out plan is not a victory for us all. Perhaps if they put up the money,m then I would respect their opinion more, but they only say no to anything that might improve the park.
While City workers do not get Social Security, the City has a program (SPSP) which is in lieu of Social Security and the City matches contributions. City Workers do pay into and get Medicare.
