Lived in Homer since 1991. I am suggesting if you feel that you are not being represented in this endeavor and do not feel that your voice is being heard you can attend the city council meeting and get 5 minutes to speak on the subject. I have done it many times, some you win, some you lose. But we all can have a say in this matter an anyone is welcome to speak, you do not have to be a Homer resident.  I do not feel that anyone in Homer is held "hostage" to any idea, anyone can show up and speak their mind in this town.
