Patrick Kennedy 7231 151st Ave NW Ramsey, MN 55303 August 29, 1987 Ramsey Municipal Center 15153 Nowthen Blvd. NW Ramsey, MN 55303 Dear Mayor Gary Reimann, After reading your response to the last Airport meeting in the Anoka Union, August 28, 1987. Your statement, "I thought the people knew what was going on, were informed, and satisfied" is preposterous! From the onset of this Airport Expansion issue, I've met with neighborhood residents who expressed their opposition views, I've written the council letters expressing my own personal views, I've met with Mr. Don Greenberg, one-on-one to tell him and to let the Airport Council be aware, that the residents of this area find this proposal totally un-exceptable. I've met and talked with Councilman Arnie Cox, stating our views and I told him we would take legal action and petition a refer- endum election if all else failed. Most of all I emphasized that we are mainly opposed to the Airport Location, and not neccesarily the Airport, although every- one also wonders why this city needs to get into the Airport business. The very nature of each Airport Council meeting was the people of Ramsey, Residents and Business' in the designated Zone, stating: "We doAt want it, in any shape or form", and the Airport Council and their consultants continually tried to cram it down our throats and put a band -aid on each and every valid objection, as though there is even a ground here for negotiation. You furthur state "That thing (the plan) was moving along just like it should" is also preposerous. What Planet were you on? If you honestly didn't know what was going on, should you be representing the people of this City? And if you did in fact know how the people feel, than sir are you being very honest? I am of course, available to discuss the issues with you. Sincerelly, "<k) P.S. I'm confident with the issue being decided by an election, as it should have been before as much money and time were ill spent on this ill-fated mis-represented and mis-appropriated venture. Thank God, and Arnie Cox, that we are now on the proper course. Also, This Landfill business might also be an issue for the people to decide, or does history repeat, and nothing is learned.
