Comment on Mayor Duman Claims Developers are Listening by Anonymous

It just looks to me like our City Council, Planning & Community Development, and Mayor are always thinking up ways to make it easier and cheaper for developers – such as accepting flimsy proffers – to build in Suffolk while ignoring the current residents’ needs for safer roads, better schools, and services. When there’s local opposition, the can gets kicked down the road until citizens give up. I think it’s a conflict of interest for our mayor to be a real estate broker and it’s time he gives his attention to what his constituents want and need. It surely isn’t more overpriced homes on busy roads.

I agree! Sounds as if property owner and city council are not listening to the residents of our area of Manning/Holland Roads. Say “NO” to this property owner and move onto other more-important business!

I feel it is time to use their vote to represent the citizens and the planning department should also to start doing their job. We can not let them sell out the entire city of Suffolk . We should impeach the whole bunch. Then let them know that WE KNOW also how to VOTE. Vote NO!

Sounds like another back room done deal. There is no way this is good for Suffolk. It will provide another traffic nightmare for citizens to deal with.
PLEASE STOP CATERING TO DEVELOPERS!!

Let me join in on the thanks and gratitude you deserve for holding a light to what these out of touch city counselors do. A republic can only work with an informed citizenry and honest representatives. The schools have dumbed down one group and greed has corrupted another, in my opinion. Again, thank you.

In reply to Thomas Rein. We appreciate your support! City Council needs to take a long hard look at the city manager's office. Staff follow the city manager's office directions, so I don't blame any individual staff. I know Al Moor has retired, but this would be a good time to clean house in that particular section.

Can’t say enough how thankful i am that you do this. Honestly i think they should all be investigated for not representing the citizens of Suffolk best interests, including safety.

As a former Chief Fire Inspector I found there were only two things from contractors that you can’t believe. That’s what they say and what they write.

This is some great reporting. We have been hearing that the developers of Port 460 have been having some “challenges,” including access to water, particularly for fire fighting. I see now how that was taken care of. What can we do to get this ordinance repealed?
