plan had received too much negative reaction to ever gain public support, and that he was disappointed with the invitation to the commission Thursday.
"Thethey were hostile, argumentative and even angry," he said. "It was a very inappropriate way to act, and I wanted you to be more dedicated to downtown Lawrence."
Shontz has continued to maintain that the Sizerel plan is a better plan.
Shontz said she was going to ask her fellow commissioners to delay making a decision until they had more time to review the Town Center plan.
"We're not in a position to name a developer." Shontz said. "We haven't gotten enough information from Town Center."

THE SIZELER PLAN, which is for the 700 and 800 blocks, would place a mall east of Massachusetts and require putting New Hampshire street to the east.
Hill said the Sizerel plan had many good points. He said, however, that he didn't think the plan could get three more votes than the commission, and maybe not even two.

And both Longhurst and Commissioner Ernest Angino have said they were leaning toward selecting the Town Center Commission. Commissioner Mike Amyx said he was still reviewing the two plans.
HILL ALSO SAID that the Sizerel
Shontz said that she was surprised by the dramatic turn the downtown redevelopment process has taken, and he is not afraid to tell her whole process back on a logical track.
Last month Lawrence had reached the third stage with Sizerel, which was the developer from March to July. Then in August, the team opened the process to local developers.
