If you eliminate the different policy points of view concerning the downtown management district assessment issue, you do come to one failure that should not be repeated.
To be clear, the executive director of the district has publicly taken responsibility for the mistake.
The district improperly reported that a member petition to raise their assessment had been approved by the proper percentage of property owners.
The result was that the amount assessed against the properties was improperly raised.

Taking responsibility
I believe that the executive director should be applauded for taking responsibility for the mistake. I also believe that she should see to it that this does not happen again.
We deserve better
