OPEN LETTER TO THE TRIBUNE

Please get the facts straight!

"Corrections" needed on articles June 6, 2006.

1. Scribner Place article: (page 1) The $137,500 Edit Funds pledged to Scribner is wrong. The correct amount of Edit Money pledged to Scribner is $263,000 per year.

See the Council meeting minutes of September 8, 2005.

"Mayor Garner suggested that the amend this resolution to $263,000, so that the total counting the county money would be $400,000."

2. June 6, 2006- (page 1) "city oks sewer fee increase" This is not correct. The council approved a Stormwater Fee increase not a sewer Fee increase.

3. Page 1 and 4

"The Council amended the Stormwater Board bill to set the salaries at 0$ for each of the three members instead of $6.25 per meeting. Mayor Garner's administration had suggested".

This is not correct. Mayor Garner had suggested $625.00 not $6.25 per month.

Summary:

O.K. Mr. Tucker-Let's correct the errors in your front page article:

* Scribner Place is $263,000 not $137,500.

* Stormwater Fee increased, not the sewer fee.

* Stormwater Board pay, $625.00 per month, not $6.25


Freedom Of Speech would like to ask you Mr. Tucker was Eric Scott Campbell even awake during this council meeting? Because he sure didn't have his facts right again! And you wonder why you are losing Tribune customers.
