[Vision2020] the Donovan effect on downtown

[J Ford]

That "retail space" has ALWAYS been occupied by kirker-owned and 
Wilson-controlled businesses since NSA moved in there.  That is NOT putting 
anything back into the community, only into the kirker pockets.  A verra 
unpleasant prospect since if/when the owner displeases Dougie - out they go! 
  The Council says they have to have "retail space" but they failed to 
recognize that kirker businesses will be the ONLY businesses allowed in 
there.
