Notable Quotes (2)
I'd call on the city to launch an independent investigation into the establishment of an easement for drainage and utilities across the Tamarack properties.
I don't track the argument that's being made. Either the verbal argument or the written argument... it's hard for me to speak to it because I don't understand what the allegation is.
