Letter to the Editor: What is the Deputy Mayor's position on rechannelizing Richmond Beach Road?

To the Editor:

While the questions Margaret Wilson posed at the RBCA candidate forum were somewhat inarticulate, they never-the-less deserved an answer, especially as they relate to Mr. Salomon. The Richmond Beach community has fought for years the over-development of the land, wanton stripping out of trees and other destruction of the the land in the name of development. This year the community gathered hundreds of signatures in an effort to stop the so-called rechanneling of Richmond Beach Road. Where does the deputy mayor stand on this? He has been notably quiet. As a journalist I have covered similar forums for years. Unfortunately these kind of forums generate very little of substance. Candidates are too well programmed these days. But at least the members of the audience should be able to frame their own questions.
