BILL\’S POINT OF VIEW:
Dear Mr. Kilcourse,
From the letter you submitted to the Gloucester City News it appears you are finally going to talk about your term in office. I am referring specifically to the sentence, \”Stay tuned; we may have more true facts.\”
Are you going to speak about the supposed arrangement your administration had announced in October with Reel Fish Seafood, of Bellmawr? The article was published in your Democrat newsletter What\’s Happening in Gloucester City.
The following is an excerpt from the newsletter.
\”On October 12, Gloucester City purchased the former Dooley\’s bar at Broadway and Cumberland Street. On October 16, the City signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Reel Fresh Seafood, currently located in Bellmawr, to negotiate for the construction and opening of a seafood restaurant at the location\”.
Mayor James said when he asked the remaining Council members from your administration, ( Hagan, Kaye, Kormann and Loebell) for the written agreement, he was told \”nothing was put down on paper\”.
Where is the signed Memorandum of Understanding ? Was it misplaced?
As usual you missed the point of my Cheers and Jeers column. The ownership of the King Street parking lot is not the issue. My bone of contention was that Holt Cargo Systems was being given another sweet-heart deal.
The R was left out of Pearl’s name. Typographical errors happen to all of us. But in your hurry to ridicule me you missed the positive praise I gave to the Gloucester City Board of Education who honored Dr. Pearl Kowalski with a memorial garden.
So please don’t keep us in suspense. We are all waiting for you to clarify your announcement, \”Stay tuned; we may have more true facts.\”

For those who missed Mr. Kilcourse\’s letter I reprinted it below.
Statement Totally False
I recently read an article that appeared in the Jan. 25 issue of the Gloucester City News. The article appeared in the ClearysNotebook under the cheers and jeers headline.
The article stated that the City under the Kilcourse administration agreed to give up the city parking lot (O\’Hara\’s does not own this lot) on King Street for the new office building for Holt. This is totally false.
Bill, go back to being Emeritus. Stay tuned, we may have more true facts. P.S. There is an R in Pearl
