Email Body:

I am writing you regarding the lack of a grocery store in Highland Square. We are now three years into this saga and the people of this community are suffering. It is clear that Albrecht Inc. cannot get the job done. Over the past three years, their tactics have been shown to push away one interested grocer after another. They built a building on public land with no lease, and now are suggesting that perhaps Highland Square might not even need a grocery store. These absurd suggestions are insulting to me and to my community.
  
As a taxpayer, I ask you to refuse any lease to Albrecht Inc. for the land at the corner of West Market Street and Portage Path. They have not held up their end of the bargain, a fact which can be easily confirmed with a few phone calls to the grocers that they inaccurately claim were not interested. Please do not reward Albrecht Inc for his failure with our public land. Too many tax dollars have already been spent on them with no results.
   
The people of Highland Square are ready to move on. It is time for the City to get rid of Albrecht and either find another developer or talk to the grocers directly. We are tired of games, tired of waiting, and tired of Albrecht. It is time for action.
