Does the issue of conflict of interest enter into your minds? Being a business man he of <br />course wants the income from his empty store front, Does he really care about the idea of another tobacco shop <br />in our neighborhood? With more and more people not smoking and more and more trying to quit—why would <br />we want more tobacco shops in our very small community. As for the issue of a convenience store—let's face <br />it—we have many other options for these items within blocks of this store front. I trust that the Council can <br />see that this is a mask for just another tobacco shop. Please make the correct decision for all the residents of <br />Little Canada and not for just one business owner. <br />If this is what type of business Mr. Duray wants in Little Canada, as a Planning Commission member—I <br />question if he has the hest interests of the residents of Little Canada in mind, or just simply looking to rent out <br />his store fronts. I would like to know who appointed him to this commission? Can you let ane know who else is <br />on the planning commission? <br />Thank you for listening to my concerns. <br />Jean D.
