he's wanting to eliminate the down town mall which nobody uses, redo the parking ramps and sell others,
crap that doesn't pertain to the community and the people within........think of the people first, not where they will park.....dahhhhh; ▶ Reply to This

Too many local politicians have been adding their input for too long and we, the people are not getting all that is deserved, even with the slow economy. Heck, if I had a little money and was younger, I'd consider running. I almost made it in a smaller Florida community.....as a total unknown.
New, Young and up-to-date economics has to be the main strengths of our next mayor. then we have to do the same with our governor....who should have been Lisa Madigan, but, she won't run.
You might agree or you might disagree. that is fine. I am all ears when it comes to listening to "your" ideas. Thank You for listening/reading mine.; ▶ Reply to This

Heck, how about making so a bunch of "the little guys" to open a business and make downtown something other than a law office complex and the city and county law agencys. Food, other than Sub-Way or McDonald's; Clothing other than resale shops; Barber shops; beauty shops; major drug stores; a movie complex....perhaps i-max style. That would make Rockford downtown (and business East-side such as 7th St.) a reality. Save-A-Lot left Charles & 6th St. and they want people to live in the area. Elderly hi-rises and such. Give them a reason. Richard Johnson
