<br />~ . <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Page 3 of3 <br /> <br />And so, in the end I see the reason why people who "care" never last <br />long in these positions usually. The costs are way too high personally <br />and the rewards are slim and even those are torched and burned when <br />false and uneducated accusations get thrown at me. I am really, really <br />trying Julie. I'm killing myself trying. I get only a few hours of <br />sleep because I'm trying so much. You might not agree with me on <br />everything. I don't agree with me on everything (due to compromises <br />made) but I beg of you to at least respect - and get others in your <br />circle to respect the fact that I'm trying to be a good egg here. I am <br />not McCarty and I sure the hell am not a Linke. I'm still learning the <br />ropes - but I really am trying to make a difference and listen to <br />people. <br /> <br />I am concerned that if groups in this city continue to shoot even those <br />who have a glimmer of hope that things can be made better we will <br />ultimately drive off the good and decent representatives and we will <br />again be left with the Linke's, Obert's and Gunn's of the world making <br />decisions. <br /> <br />I am weary of this job right now. My little children could certainly <br />use me at home on Mondays. I remain in this position because I truly <br />believe that I can make a difference and I have the intellect and wisdom <br />to get things done. Please understand that my commitment to working <br />with you and the rest of the residents is now at a level where I am <br />placing this job close to the level of my own family. But if I continue <br />to be accused by the likes of Bill Doty and others that somehow I too am <br />just part of the problem - then I will screw the whole thing and you and <br />the residents can fend for yourselves against the likes of Obert and <br />Linke. With my "babies" needing me so desperately - it won't take much <br />more for me to simply walk away from this. I don't want to - nor would <br />it be good for the city whatsoever - but I will if I continue to have my <br />teeth kicked in and have me and the council disrespected. <br /> <br />Forgive the length of this letter. I am just so weary about this stuff <br />I needed to vent it. I'm not going to enter into a major dialogue <br />regarding this with you or anyone simply because I don't have any more <br />time or energy to discuss it. I simply wanted to be understood. <br /> <br />Dan <br /> <br />8/1/99 <br />
