direction fix general
My general direction to them was fix this mess,
appearing bad interested looked methodical people property putting
We are appearing interested in property that we haven't even looked at, ... You have to be more methodical about it or end up putting yourself in a bad negotiating position. Even if you want the property, there are many other people out there who may want it, too.
imagine public safety
I can't imagine that we wouldn't talk, ... It's not about jurisdiction. It's about public safety.
aside city dollars good inside position premature setting talked tax
I don't think it's a good idea to set aside any city money, ... It doesn't put the city in a good negotiating position when we haven't even talked with the owners. We haven't even been inside the building. It's premature to be setting aside any tax dollars for it.
aggressive anyone country found government last local news surprised watched weeks
I'd be surprised if I found a local government around the country that wasn't reassessing, ... I don't know anyone who has watched the news over the last two weeks who wouldn't be aggressive about it.
heard lack plan strategic
One of the first things I heard (as mayor) was that there's no strategic plan for what we wanted to be in 10 years, ... There's no overarching vision. We lack communication. We lack information. We don't have one clearinghouse.
matrix strengths weaknesses
We need a whole matrix of measurements, ... Right now, we can't say what our strengths and weaknesses are. We don't have the data.
game obviously pay
If I'm just going to a game with my family, obviously I would pay for that,
blown gotten original proportion request somehow
This whole thing about the hurricanes has gotten somehow blown out of proportion from what the original request was, ... How it went from that to what transpired yesterday, I don't know.
almost based county election errors large led major number system technology thousands urban voters voting
The voting system used by almost every major urban county was based on 1970s technology and that led to a large number of errors made by voters on election day that effectively negated thousands of votes.
err order side
That's why, I think, any order to evacuate has to come early. Sometimes we're going to err on the side of caution,
clear needed policies rule
There was so much that wasn't right, ... It needed structure. It needed clear policies and procedures. It needed to have a rule book.
bona needs problem solved start
This is a bona fide problem that needs to be solved before you start incurring any more expenses,
counties county high people wind
I think we'll look at any high ground, ... It may not be where people wind up for the long haul. But, yes, I think we have to look to our neighboring county -- all of our neighboring counties -- that are inland and away from water.
