There is nothing complicit or wrong in a developer buying property someone is willing to sell. That’s what developers do.

There IS something wrong with elected officials betraying public trust, and the wishes of the person who gave the land originally, as the county commissioners did in this matter and in various other matters such as ramming zoning down our throats after we voted against it.

The current county commissioners have not exactly covered themselves in glory.

TOPIC: Blame Council, commissioners -- …

Actually, Obama and most of us are related to ALL the presidents. In my books ‘Genealogy Via the Internet’ and ‘Bush/Kerry and All Their Other Cousins’ I show how George Bush is related to EVERY president, not just his father. Just as soon as it’s sure WHICH Democrat gets the nomination, I’ll release a book showing McCain and probably Obama are cousins.

Genealogy—especially the full genealogy that I advocate in my books—is a ton of fun!

TOPIC: A constitutional amendment

All my direct ancestors were parents and parenthood is what is destroying the environment.  Thus it is roots themselves that are the destroyers.  However I did have a childfree great aunt.  NO ZONING!!

Letter writers have a first amendment right to be factually wrong, unfair, and certainly rootless as well as refugees from elitist ZONING! in Boston.
Would anyone care to link me to the original article or letter?

Grafitti does not always cost the property owner anything because the property owner does not have to do anything.  In some cases the extra paint even helps protect the surface underneath from the elements.  Only if the government forces the property owner to remove the grafitti does the government, and not the tagger, cost the property owner.
