"I was very disappointed that the organizers decided to change the format on the day of the event. The event went OKonce thing settled down, after Johnson appeared, but even still people came to hear Johnson only, not the other candidates. What was advertised is what should have been presented."

"The meeting tonight was revealing on many levels, of particular note was Chris Paros' question on full inclusion housing to Fargo, of which she replied that no other council member wanted low income housing in their district, so North Natomas was the best spot for it and no votes could overturn it. Mr. Tretheway sat quietly by, (even more pathetic.) The whole city needs to share the burden of such housing."
"Equally disturbing was Fargo's contention of annexing the north area because the county will somehow improperly invade, why is there not a joint cooperation and better regional long term planning and can the city afford the proper level of services for such expansion? There were some good questions, but like all keen politicians, she blamed the city's woes on state or federal revenue shortfalls or hurricane Katrina, anything other than her own shortcomings."
