More veterans last year to suicide. Every 24 hours 22 veterans will commit suicide. Women are 3 times more likely to commit suicide if they have served in the armed service. I apologize, this hit me very personal last year. There are a lot of issues hitting our veterans, including moving back into our Veterans Building to make sure our veterans have access to that building. Right now we are thrown to the winds and veterans are meeting various places so we look forward to moving back into that building that has been promised to us since world war i. We helpd with the creation of a Veterans Court which is meeting at 850 bryant and is considering whether or not to deal with veterans that committed crimes that are violent versus nonviolent crimes. Initially for the first two years the court only dealt with veterans that had nonviolent crimes so this is a move up and i think this is something our veterans need. Im very pleased to say i was at 150 otis with mayor lee during the Ground Breaki

Now, i understand that you personally have taken an interest and have led interests to cut the commission from 15 to 11 members if im not mistaken because largely due to attendance. I agree, attendance is actually extremely important. I, too, when people come before me on this body if their attendance is poor i have no problem supporting them so i can certainly connect with that. But its been presented that, and im basing this off of, colleagues, ive got two examp

But its been presented that, and im basing this off of, colleagues, ive got two examples here from notes of a meeting june 4th in 2012 and august 6 in 2012 from the Veterans Affair commission of you looking to get office space inside city hall, also made accusizations of the mayor not supporting veterans because his office wasnt able to offer office space. You have also threatened the Mayors Office and again i have documentation for that. And the reason im bringing this out in this public area is to allow you an opportunity
