Dear Sir or Madam,
I was saddened to read the letter “Lily Mei’s priority for equity” in the January 21 issue. What is the point of attacking a community leader on the way out? State law mandates our new residential construction, as anyone who’s seen the Innovation District knows. Niles has long been quaint and different but should bear its fair share. Either way, Lily did not deserve that treatment. As a community, we can do better. I personally think Lily was a good mayor. Thank you, Madam Mayor, for your service!
Kind regards,
Felix Lechner

P.S. I served Fremont as a library commissioner for ten years, including under Lily, having been appointed by the Honorable Bill Harrison.
P.P.S. Also, what was the point of quoting Ann Crosbie? I thought she moved.
