I may even move you to the top of the list as you seem to need it more than anybody else I know of. Heres hoping that you and yours never have need of mercy and grace.

To call it a Homeless Shelter is capricious and abitrary politically incorrect as well as legally mislabeled. Of course Frank needs to try and get it defined as such in order that he would then be able to further litigate the matter. While i applaud some of Frank's litigation (he has a keen intellect and does help keep the city on it toes) This is clearly one case where his intentions are destructive rather than corrective for the town as a whole. The end result here is a tying up of the precious resources of the town (most notably the valuable contributions the Refuge Chapel have made and continue to make to our community and the cost to the city itself , exactly what neither need in this reccessive time.) What exactly does Frank profit by this? The town will not profit that much is clear... so me thinkest thou protests too much ...

His attitude and behavior should not be allowed to steer the councilmembers while they deliberate the matter. The city needs this work. Refuge Chapel should be applauded and supported. Instead it is being raked over the coals. We should not allow Mr. Griswold’s issues to tie up the future of the Refuge Room.
