Lee, who is actively seeking
the job of Lieutenant Governor,
said local government can
no longer look to the federal
government for hand-outs. "I
left the mayor's conference
saddened and frustrated
because the federal government
has no more hand-outs."
The third-term mayor called
for churches, banks, loan
institutions, and local governments

resources for creating ways to
better service the people.
He encouraged officials to .
use whatever natural resources
and funds to meet,
those needs. He also urged
that more social programs be
developed and that politicians
let the public know just where
they stand.
