Pending a resolution of the insurance process, I would be very optimistic that there will be a race meeting here next year. Hopefully that would be resolved by the end of March.

During race week we still get buses that will stop by. If there's a race even close to here, people will stop to see a game or just buy a shirt or a hat.

Once this resolution is passed, a tougher stage will begin and we will see what effect the board of governors' calls on Iran will have.

Passing a tough resolution or threatening Iran will not bring about the desired outcome.

If you carry this resolution and follow out all its implications and do not run away from it, you will send a Foreign Secretary, whoever he was, naked into the conference chamber.

I think this resolution will make it crystal clear as to where (city council) stands, ... It's about keeping promises.
