October Villager Issue Number 1

As usual, there are many issues with the presentation of items in the Minerva Park Villager.

Issue one that I would like to call your attention to is this, contained in the Mayor's Report:

"On September 23, the Planning & Zoning Commission, with some Council members and residents present, met with Fischer Homes' representatives to review an initial plan of the layout of the full development of the property and to discuss the Pre-annexation Agreement. This was not a public hearing or a town meeting." (emphasis added)

This comes immediately after Lynn's profession that everything is being open and shared with all residents. She then writes that the meeting was attended by "some residents" but it was not a public hearing or a town meeting.

Some of you are still going to insist that there is nothing wrong. Some will still say that I put a negative spin on this and am leaving other considerations out; perhaps there are other considerations--no one can possibly know everything that factors in to any particular action, even their own.

For those of you who feel that way, your opinions won't be changed, and I don't intend to make that so. You have to be the one to decide to change your own mind. Reading this blog is the first step to accepting some of the truths that many seem to overlook consistently. If that's insulting, you should be further insulted by the way that "your" elected officials run this village.
