Good Evening Mr. Henry McClure,
What a very unprofessional response of Council Member Sylvia Ortiz. Apparently, you reaching out to her back in March (professionally) to assist with an issue was "dirty work". Her response was to "leave Joe alone and stop emailing her". I believe as her "elected" position, it would be her duty to assist with the most best and least resistance to help an individual within her district.
I clearly remember when she talked you down in a very condescending way at a meeting. Very rude and in front of other's. She's not ever returned my calls and I gave up a long time ago after the Globetrotter incident.
I found the council video and you NEVER once mentioned his name or gave a complete address. Your comment was not BLASTING him as she stated. Only asking the assistance of the council to help you with resolution where Council Member Sylvia Ortiz responded in defiance towards you.
She references the gentleman as a "disabled old black man", instead of his given name. WOW and so very sad. She gave you and Mr. McBride "unfair treatment" by her not trying to assist initially.
It's very unfortunate all this happened as it did. As long as there continues to be "resistance" and rude and unprofessional conduct, Topeka will continue in a downward spiral. As I watch meetings with "public comment", it's very sad to see the expressions of faces of feeling not heard, cared about and defeated.
Sincerely,
Rhonda M. Underwood

Henry,
Let's be clear, my job as a council member is NOT to do your dirty work or use my position to remove a disabled old black man from a house that he has been paying rent since 2008 and the owner/landlord did not fulfill his legal obligations and make this property habitable. But continued to take his money. Mr. McBride did not get behind on his rent until April of 2024 when he burned himself (burned some toes off) on a wood burning stove, while trying to keep warm because the owners would not fix his heater or water pipes.
My only regret is that I did not know this sooner. Citizens are not happy that you came and publicly blasted Mr. McBride at a council meeting, telling his personal business.
Stop emailing me Henry. I will never be a part of this unfair treatment to a person who can't defend himself. Stop provoking his son. Henry Stop the madness!

I wrote you over a year ago foreseeing this .
You have another problem . Code compliance removed all his personal property.
The eviction is final August 1st 2024
Poor Mr. Mcbride basically had his possessions stolen by you.

Russ:
You are welcome. McBride's son is a real piece of work. He was yelling insults and threats to Henry and I in the hallway and parking lot of the Courthouse. My private eye stayed between us and the son. She even called to see if I got to my office safely. McBride is a very pleasant fellow. Chauncey McBride has been a problem. I hope this is the end of it with you getting possession on July 31, 2024 without any incidents.

Scott,
Congratulations, great work by the entire team, Thanks to all.
Russ:
The trial was a success. Henry was cool under pressure. Joe McBride was evicted. The Court gave him until Midnight on July 31, 2024 to be completely out of the property. I wil prepare the Journal Entry. If McBride is o not out on time a writ of eviction will be served.

Good afternoon Scott and Henry,
Please see attached the notice from the City of Topeka. We received this notice in the mail yesterday, the same notice I tried to text you a couple of hours ago.
