I love your blog. I would love to cover our county government, but until recently I was a part of it. Thank God I got out when I did. Are you for or against the Goose Pond rezoning? All politicians are snakes!!!
I am for the rezoning of the old Aluminum Plant Property from R1 to the requested M1 designation. The current zoning is a result of the Legislative Act, which requires the property to be zoned in the most restrictive zoning available, R1, in the absence of a request otherwise. This was the result of no zoning request from the previous owners, Liberty National, at the time of the Legislative Act taking the property into the city Limits.
