I have spoken to them all about my neighbors, the trash, the RATS. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Students that apply for admission here need a safe, friendly, budget conscience place to live. A new dorm was to be built on North Campus - what happened to the funding? The development where Mandalay was – the original plans were better, I guess I could become more involved….

I sat down with the reporter to go over all the mistakes in detail in two instances and each time the Diamondback responded by putting a new reporter on the story who only knew the story based on the previous Diamondback reporting. I am still waiting for a final story on the case as a lawsuit is pending trial sometime in the future. I should make sure Mr. Litton knows not to write any future stories on the subject without my input. The Diamondback’s many Terrapin Station stories contained a multitude of unbelievable errors/lies.

The only significant cost thing we are interested in that the County does not push is rush hour shuttles or other promotion of public transit use. We (city and county) don't push for affordable housing like other jurisdictions do. I am not sure what David thinks Terrapin Station is an example of; the only real dispute there arose well after construction was underway and it had no impact on the project's timing.

I think terrapin station is a good example of that as well as Mazza Grandmarc. You can't certainly point to the county on the latter, but I don't know enough of the history of the former.
