Dear Editor:
Mr. Hilliard’s letter, published in this paper on Wednesday, stating the amphitheater did, indeed, have a public hearing is yet another opportunity for me to point out the difference between his beliefs and mine. Mr. Hilliard refers to a public hearing held in 1998 regarding a conceptual plan for the park. Again, I will state, there were no public hearings on the Amphitheater in its current design, location or at the cost of $600,000. Maybe he considers a hearing, held 11 years ago, sufficient public input. I do not. If elected I will hold public hearings on major city projects. Citizens will be able to voice their opinion, in a timely manner, on how their tax dollars are spent.
