With the Eugene City Council's adoption of <br /> <br /> .the FY05 Budget, Facilities Plan, and SDC Methodology last night, I know you are <br /> looking forward to getting back to the real world. <br /> A while back you described the overall situation as a `house of cards' and the aptness of <br /> your description became increasingly evident as things went along. I want to take this <br /> opportunity to commend you for your efforts and to let you know how much I appreciate <br /> your dedication, commitment, and toughness. As you know, we are engaged in careers <br /> with no shortage of critics - I am absolutely certain that despite today's critics of what <br /> you have accomplished here, you will be considered a visionary in the years to come. <br /> You have contributed in a meaningful way and inspired others to get involved, including <br /> me. <br /> Our communities and our region would not achieve their respective goals without strong <br /> leadership.
