Yea!  And she has GREAT hair!  (Ok... that one was for Robin )

I am so sad to hear that Robin is leaving, but I am not at all surprised.  I don't know how she stuck it out as long as she did. 

 My hat's off to her and I wish her well.

Robin, you get on here (you can do that now...what can they do? Fire you?) and send me a PM and let the Crackah know if you need a letter of recommendation ok??

Let's see.... Bill Bruce... gone   Bill Trevarrow... gone Robin Smith... gone.

Ok...Michael B.... you're the last man standing. Be strong. 

OOPS! I forgot to mention that Dena Barnes is my "honorary" hero for the evening!!!

Dena stated tonight that she would hope that citizens could come forth with their opinions without fear of being ridiculed in public... (i.e. Paul Milam or anyone who has a view opposing BS)

BS then said something to the effect that she could say the same thing... I am assuming that she meant that someone has been ridiculing her?

Is that really any different than what she did to Mark, Dena, Bob, Carolyn, Jane or Mike during the days preceeding "Black Tuesday" back in November 05???

I think not.

♥♥♥ Don't worry Bill Hill! ♥♥♥

You're still my A#1 Hero!  I was sweatin' it when you went behind closed doors with that <really smarter than all of us little people> council member who was accusing our mayor of whatever it was she accused him of.

I hope everyone heard the results of that meeting. 

Mr. Hill found NO EVIDENCE of any impro... impropri... oh shoot...  WRONG DOING on the part of Mark Brown.

OMG!  I forgot Dianne Laughlin!!!!  That's 4! Oh my goodness!  Sorry Dianne!!!

It's the shock Lacka....

Ms. Beeson does a good job standing her ground while under attack.

The Park Committee is lucky to have her. So are we!

Does anyone know what the deal is with that Newspaper that Mom was advertising for last night?  Who puts that out?

I gotta feel a little sorry for them because they've recieved the "kiss of death" in my opinion.

I PM'd Sandra and asked her but she won't wake up and answer me!!!

I'm sorry, but this just cracks me up.

So Mom was passing out these papers to a select number of people in the audience last night.  They were copies of Mark Brown's campaign flyers from the '05 election.  On this flyer, someone had written (in schoolteacher form) a big ol' F- at the top of the page.

Is it just me or that juvenile ???

Anyway, beside each of Mark's bullet points someone had scrawled the letter F and added their own comments as to why they think he deserved a "failing grade".

For instance, where it says "Mark Brown listens to the people" the unknown writer has scrawled "No Public Comments Allowed!"

Excuse me... There appear to be only 2 times when public comment is allowed in open meeting... during the "speakers from the floor" and the "PUBLIC HEARING" portions of the agenda. I'm very proud of Mark and my hero, Bill Hill for maintaining order and keeping the peanut gallery quiet so that the rest of us can hear what's going on.

And.... the unknown writer added bullet points of his/her own as well.  One states that "Brown is directing Town Planner to allow developer Paul Milam to write a PUD to re-zone THOUSANDS of acres in Summerfield"

Is that misleading or what???? This is the same kind of thing that went out before the last election.  It's starting again.

Even DC seemed to understand that this PUD ordinance did not necessarily mean that property WOULD be rezoned.  Milam wasn't asking for a rezoning.  He was asking for the opportunity to present ideas for affordable housing in Summerfield. Any rezonings would still have to go through the proper channels and could be denied.  No mention of thousands of acres ever came up. 

No specific property ever came up.  Remarkably, it seems that the Town Core people think that their property was going to be somehow affected by this PUD ordinance because they've all shown up for those portions of the meetings.  Wonder how they got that impression?

DC and BS have never said that they are against a PUD ordinance. They said that they just objected to the timing....

I THINK that an opportunity arose to skew the facts and accuse Mark of wrong doing and they opted to take that route instead of listening to what Milam had to say.
