John Fry damaged the F & M neighborhood

John Fry did his damage to the West side as well to the homeowners on Race and Wheatland.  It is a shame that in my eyes and thousands of others he will not go down as a compassionate, caring president as the others before him.  He did not treat anyone outside F & M with respect if he could not get something in return.

…I would not be surprised if Mr. Fry has an interest in the company that has the contract with F & M for off campus housing. [Editor's note:  We know nothing to so suggest.] Many home owners sold for less due to Mr. S. take over the the neighborhoods.

Unfortunately, the students are paying 4 times what they were paying private ownership and only getting a dorm room in exchange.

Lastly, the Tiger Grant which contained monies for improvements via the County for F & M as well as for High was flatly turned down.  Look at the minutes from 2 weeks ago from the Commissioners Meetings.  They tried to claim that their requests were for the benefit of the city.  DID NOT WORK.

"....I have never made it a consideration whether the subject was popular or unpopular, but whether it was right or wrong; for that which is right will become popular, and that which is wrong, though by mistake it may obtain the cry or fashion of the day, will soon lose the power of delusion, and sink into disesteem." Thomas Paine, Common Sense, on "Financing the War", March 5, 1782
