We, the Nicetown-Tioga Improvement Team Registered Community Organization, recently read your article [regarding scheduling issues with the recent RCO meeting about a proposed new development on Church Lane in Germantown] and feel compelled to let you know that Mr. [Charles] Richardson [director of zoning and land use for City Councilmember Cindy Bass] has never been involved in scheduling our meetings, especially those regarding RCO issues.
We've been advocating for our community since 1998. Though we cannot speak to the interests or experiences of other RCOs, our work is important and not hindered by politics or councilmanic privilege. Our resident members are empowered to speak their minds, question and hold accountable the developers that come to our neighborhood. We hope the same is true for similar grassroots organizations across the city.
