I personally assure all of

you that the contracts in question are properly approved, properly executed

and totally valid. They would be upheld and affirmed by any court in the

land. For this reason I hereby send a polite warning to Brown and his

three cohorts. If you take any unilateral action to abrogate or modify

these contracts without first proving me wrong in court, it is you who

will be guilty of acting illegally and it is me who will be suing each

of you personally.

Lastly, I have delivered a

letter to City Hall on behalf of all of us as citizens asking that a thorough

public hearing and public discussion on this matter be placed on the July

18, 2002 [City] Council agenda.

I regret having to wait until

then but I do not feel that the true facts can be determined and aired

without my input. I will not be here for the June 20 council meeting and

July 18 is the next scheduled meeting.

Since Mr. Brown has developed

quite a reputation for refusing to let the public speak at council meetings

and since he doesn't do at all well in head-to-head debate, I am not optimistic

that he will have the courage or intelligence to confront this issue directly

and openly.

If by chance he does, however,

I would encourage you to be there if you care about the future of the

Amphitheater, the Tennis Center and Falcon Field Airport.

as mayor. He left the council because of term limits at the end of 2001.]
