You should pay attention to what Liz Lee said in her comments: "It is disheartening to attend an action summit and go around the table to find out that you are the only one who has a genuine stake in the neighborhood (something at risk - a business, say), then move to another table to find that you are one of 3 people at that table.

"Businesses are speaking up. Hopefully someone is listening."

The deck is stacked. The administration sends its lackeys and friends to attend these events so the administration's viewpoints are forced through.
