Looking any potential tenants up is the right way and only way, it's called a paper trail, its shows a history of the chooses you made, it allows us to see right throw all the lies. If all landlords chose only clean record tenants I guaranty wellington heights would look like it did 50 yrs ago, landlords would feel there's a vested interest in that area. All the great rental properties do this, sorry its only the truth Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:57:17 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/local-news/2009/11/14/cedar-rapids%e2%80%99-most-neglected-rental-properties-in-same-area#IDComment43504671 http://oldgo.gazlab.com.php5-15.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/local-news/public-safety/2009/11/16/marion-police-seek-suspects-in-armed-robbery-at-apartment#IDComment43475282 2 black guys, no way, couldn't be, they don't do dat. and they wonder about all the hatred Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:53:29 +0000 http://oldgo.gazlab.com.php5-15.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/local-news/public-safety/2009/11/16/marion-police-seek-suspects-in-armed-robbery-at-apartment#IDComment43475282 http://gazetteonline.com/local-news/public-safety/2009/11/16/three-arrested-in-burglary-of-flooded-cedar-rapids-home#IDComment43474740 i second dat !

She's the main reason everything is taking so so so so so long to get going, she ask so so so so so many questions at council meetings, wants to think things over and over, after hearing her at these meetings I would have to say she is so under qualified for any kind of council position, she has NO understanding of city infrastructure or the process of running a city, she is the consultant queen, Ron i hope you get this message Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:35:46 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/local-news/2009/11/10/corbett-hopes-to-name-city-council-member-monica-vernon-mayor-pro-tem#IDComment42775387 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/69252307.html#IDComment42043180 Move back in the old buildings with retro-fit to future potentail flooding, start tomorrow, not next week, did they mention years? my gosh, get on with it, flood talk needs to stop, talking about it everyday about what todo for the last 17 months is depressing, sad and down right makes me sick. I lost several homes from the flood, they are all done and look great and families are very happy to be back, matter of fact it doesn't even look like a flood ever happened, now I'm only reminded when i sit down to watch the news and hear the council is still stuck in the mud.
