I’m here out of concern for what the proposed changes to the current noise ordinance could mean for our patients—people who are already facing enough challenges by the time they arrive at our facility. I urge each of you to visit our facility and witness these transgressions for yourselves. Step into our patients’ shoes—hear what they hear—and experience what it’s like for them to seek care under those conditions. These changes are not about limiting free speech—they are about protecting the health, dignity, and safety of everyone in our community.

There is a movement advocated by some rich and powerful people which is very ill-advised. Some people want to put condominiums in Dix Park. The concept of ‘symbolic ownership’ is the reality of people feeling that they own something even if in fact they are only located nearby. This is certainly what will happen if folks are able to purchase condominiums in Dix Park. They will ‘symbolically own’ a portion of the park and will be offended when normal citizens, who just want to enjoy the open space, invade ‘their’ park.
