Letters from readers: Citizens need to rise up against Lot J Letters from readers Citizens need to rise up against Lot J A huge thanks to former councilmen Matt Schellenberg for speaking up and pointing out all the shortcomings of the Lot J deal in his letter to the editor. It appears now that the only way this ready-made deal by the mayor, City Council, Mr. Kahn, and associates can be defeated is for the grassroots citizenry to once again rise up, place pressure on and call out our City Council members to defeat this resolution at a time when so many of our citizens cannot get work, pay their mortgage/rent let alone pay their taxes or even feed themselves and their children.
