Madison Nguyen's Closing Remark at San Jose RDA Meeting

-- Aug. 15-2007 -- Madison Nguyen's Closing Remark at San Jose RDA Meeting (at Tully Library Community Room) Madison said: "When we proposed a business district here in the city of San Jose, we have a process that we go through: The people who do business on Story Road right now, the merchants, the people who live within 1000 feet of this area will have the biggest input with regards to what the name will be.
Now even if all of you, let's say 100 per cent of you including myself like the name Little Saigon, but since we don't live there, we live about three or four miles down, our input will not make that much of a difference.
I wanna be very frank with you so you do not get surprised on how the process gonna work or what the turn out gonna be like."
-- Feb. 11-2008 -- at the City Hall Conference, when being asked "why before you only said the voice of the people within 1000 feet of Story Road would be most important, but now you try to get the whole city involve in this issue of district 7?" Madison replies: "I never said that. I never said anything like that."
