She wanted to know <br /> why there weren't statements of outrage or response to this. She sought out Ms. Stevenson to <br /> ask if she could bring this up at the Coalition meeting as it would be a great forum for <br /> discussion. She will be addressing it. She wonders if it would be a good idea to join together <br /> and make a broad statement from all the groups the Coalition represents. Could MIDC make a <br /> statement?
