During the m ting, Council
President Pro Tern Christine
Franklin said, "We shouldn't act
until we hear the co t of the
homes going tobe demolished. I
don't want to be told we had
money and found it was pent on
another item. We would have
mills on for the next 30 years."
Councilman Frank Ro pro
posed having such a tax, but add
ing language dealing with the

OUNCILWOMAN
GRETA Johnson charged that
during negotiations over a finan
cial settlement with Chrysler,
th corporation offered to tear
down vacant and abandoned
houses in the city. "If this ad
ministration had 'not been so
. greedy to grab the money," she
said, the problem would have
been solved."
Scotty Wainwright, Adminis
trative Assistant to th Mayor,
denied this, stating that Chrys
ler made no such offer, but stated
that it would give money to the
city and it was the city govern
ment's function to decide what to
do with it"
Johnson said that instead of
raising taxes, people should in
sist that the administration stop
what she claimed were unneces
sary expenses such as the
Mayor's proposed municipal
complex.
Challenging the administra- .
tion' claim that the complex
would save the city expenses in
dealing with code violations and
it was handled the cheapest way
possible, Johnson claimed the
city council received no docu
mentation from the Mayor's of
fice. The council was expected' to
rely on the administration's bare
word instead, she said.
