This 4th of July: Lexingtonians Let Mayor Newberry Know What You Think About the "CentrePointe" Project

Mayor Newberry has been the #1 advocate for leveling our entire block. He helped Dudley Webb spring this "CentrePointe" project on us in the dead of night, and has also left the public and even our our Council members in the dark. Though Newberry wants us to give our tax dollars to the Webbs, he hasn't bothered giving us input or even listening to us.

Here's the plan. Newberry will be marching in the parade this 4th of July, which starts at 2:00. Let's get a huge crowd gathered in front of what was The Dame and Busters, and when Mayor Newberry walks by, give him the verbal "greeting" that he so richly deserves.

We'll get local TV and print news covering the event if our turnout is big enough, I can assure you.

If you really want to frustrate Newberry's self-serving agenda, hound him with questions about why he let Lexington's jail continue to devolve into our own little Abu Ghraib.

I agree David this is an even more important concern for Lexintonians, although I'm sure this system of law enforcement abuse and negligence was in place long before Newberry was elected.
