Nancy Dervin
My last letter to the editor will no doubt garner several rebuttals ( Spoken like a true lawyer, May 13). I expect they will mostly be various versions of Mary Koberstein and Alan Galbraith s letter which, when distilled, is simply another pitch for a hotel on our Adams Street property. Theirs is the letter I would like to respond to ( The way forward for housing and financial stability, May 20).
They take issue with Measure G stating the vote was âno slam dunk and five hundred voters did not even weigh in.â Correct. But 3,058 or 91.54% of voters did. That is a huge voter turnout by any standard. Although the margin was small the majority did vote No Hotel on Adams Street. Just like we did at a Town Hall five years ago, and we will again.

Last week, Nancy Dervin attacked Paul Dohring (âSpoken like a true lawyer,â May 13). Nancy says Paul is âmyopic,â has âtunnel visionâ and âshould be ashamed of himself.â Why? Because he values a comprehensive approach and knows it takes a realistic financing plan to turn visions into reality?
Nancy says Paul and his âhotel-pushing comradesâ should get over the idea of a hotel on Adams because last Novemberâs vote put that matter to rest. Really? That was an advisory â not binding â measure. The actual vote was no slam dunk. Five hundred voters did not even weigh in.
