. Also at the meeting Commis
sioner Wysinger criticized
Public Safety Director Sam
Watson for saying he couldn't
do anything about the loitering
problem on the corner of
Broadway and Empire.
Wysinger said atson was
not doing his job, and if he
couldn't do something about
the "dop sniffers, pushers,
prositutes and thugs" he hould
be fired.
At the November 20 meeting
Yarbrough, speaking on behalf
of business owners on Broad
way and Empire said the busi
nesse were lesing customers,
and something had to be done.
Watson told the commission
that as long as the persons
tanding around didn't bother
anyone, they could stand there
all day.
Y rbrough said he agreed
with some of what Wysinger was
aying, but he didn't like the
idea of him criticizing Watson
when he could not defend him

had all the opportunity to tell
Watson how he felt about the
matter hen he was present at

Commi ioner R lph Cren

trailer that house the
Greyhound Bus Station, with no
h ndicap facilities. "Ho could
the city let this go b , he asked.
M yor Wolf said he would
refer the matter over to the city
staff.
