Hon. George H. Firkins, Jr.
Mayor
City of Cape Canaveral
Cape Canaveral, Florida 32920
Dear Mayor:
Due to emergency meetings at Tyndall Air Force Base on
Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning, I will be unable
to attend the special city council meeting of January 30.
The purpose of this letter is to advise you of my absence
and to urge my fellow councilmen to consider carefully the
matter at hand tonight. Cape Canaveral is, indeed, at a
crossroads in its development. A wrong step today could
prove disastrous in the years ahead. I urge all of you to
give your support to what you believe is good for our entire
community and put aside the passionate cries of a few wwe7_1 —
meaning folk who would prefer an abandoned town to a well -
planned city with top - quality, controlled development.
Also, please pass along to Charles Keefer of Today newspaper
that my absence tonight is caused by a mandate of my work
and not due to any belief that "democracy is dead" at Cape
Canaveral City Hall.
Sincer ly,
7E. THarr��ismon Rhame
