To Mr. Parker, my name is Mary Ann Dunn and I am a resident of the Escher Street SRO. I am not an ex-junkie, sex offender, social dreg or someone who is down on their luck. I highly resent the statements that you made concerning myself and the other tenants at the SRO. Every person in this building has an income, some of us even have jobs. The majority of the individuals who reside in our building are in recovery and are attempting to rebuild their lives. Who are you to judge? Are there no skeletons in your closet, Mr. Parker?
