I appreciate what Mr. Silver Persinger does with this blog since we are unable to see what goes on during committee and informal meetings.  The only way to see what happens during these meetings is through Silver’s blog.  Silver is an asset to this city and I wish I could speak out as much as Silver about certain issue that involve the future of our city, but I do not have the courage that he does.  To speak, it is more important to use words rather that faces.  I wish that readers of this blog would understand this about me. I want to continue serving Richmond in any means possible in a respectful manner.  In conclusion, to Silver, the readers to this blog, and to the City of Richmond, I apologize for my actions.
