Watch This

The folks against the Manhole project that voiced their objections at Planning Thursday night, all live on Vivienda. One is the president of the Chamber of Commerce. One of the other voices was the reporter for the City-Chamber newspaper the Blue Mountain Outlook. I sympathize with them, as I do with the people that will have the OAC in their back yard and the folks that had to give up their homes for the benefit of Jacobson and the Town Center. The citizens that opposed the OAC packed the council chambers the night the Planning Commission was to vote. They had to postpone the vote because of the amount of people to be heard. There was a petition with over 400 names given to council that opposed the OAC. (Round Filing Cabinet). Now this is what's going to be interesting to watch. The Blue Mountain Outlook took the city's' side on every issue on the OAC. Now that the study shows its a lemon there has not been one word from the Outlook saying"Oh Dear City Goofs On OAC"
' Now this is what I want you to watch. The Chamber president, FOC (friend of the council) is at all the functions you see on channel 3. The reporter covers all their events. Will the City stop the Manhole project because of her objections or will they put money ahead of the residents there. My money is on the Chamber President. The Council needs her for elections and re-elections. If they stop the Manhole project because of her objections then it will show how much power the clique wields. If they do stop it then they must also stop the OAC and the Town Center to show they do not favor just a hand full of their friends. After all, the people that opposed the OAC have the same rights as the Chamber president don't they? Are not their homes and right to live peacefully as important as the folks on Vivienda. Probably not. Let us watch democracy in action City Hall style.
