Round 3...WOW

Has anyone who attended last night's meeting yet been able to close their mouths?

Based on the testimony offered, and the answers provided during cross examination, we were all stunned with how ordinance 298 actually came to fruition. Though you had to be there to "get it", both papers reported the story, but clearly the Morning Call piece was more insightful than what the Express-Times offered.

It is more clear than ever to the appellants that this was spot-zoning and that this was done for the convenience of one specific developer.

The only thing more shocking than the revelations of last night is that apparently the Board of Supervisors still intends to proceed with conditional use approval for Weis Markets on January 18, 2007 despite the fact that the challenge resumes on Monday February, 26, 2007.

One wonders why the rush? Why is the Board of Supervisors unwilling to see how this unprecedented challenge by its citizens is decided before taking this next major step? There are many more questions than answers and we suspect there is a lot more to this story than we are aware of as of yet.

Hope to see you at 7:30pm on Monday, February 26, 2007 for round 4 of our challenge.
