Sounds like Morris should lead, Village of Gunree staff should follow, and Mayor Kovarik get out of the way.... He seems like a capable and honorable man. Heart in the right place, and has handled many of the complicated site condiditons already. Let him and his assembly get the job done.

seems like Morris is always craving attention to me, he isnt the only fellar that served his country, he isnt the only fellar that has lost a family member. Some of us gave up pieces of our bodies but don't seem to feel the need to remind folks everyday of our sacrafice. he needs to get on with his life and stop begging for attention

Tony, You are correct. There are many who have served this Country, and many who have given pieces of their bodies in that service. Have only met the man (Morris) a few times, but he is anything but an "attention craver". He always uses the word "WE" and rarely the word "I". Name me another who has stood up for the Veterans and Military Servicemen like Morris has? and based on the numbers that showed up to support him at the Village Hall there are many who feel that way.
If I were in his shoes I don't think I would have his strength to do what he does for all of us.
