Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

What's the hurry?

Posted in: PATA
I?’m a little confused, but those of you faithful readers won?’t find that surprising.

What is the big rush to Annex and, of course, Automatically Rezone all that property on Diley Road? (For purposes of simplicity and ease of my poor typing finger, I?’ll just call that AAR from now on) Even though many citizens have spoken out against what has been AAR on Diley Road, namely the Diley Farm, it gets approved and then Council moves on to the next parcel. Do we need an opinion on the Painter/Kohler property? Do we need to voice our wishes to Council that this AAR not occur? What would be the point? Council has pretty much gone on record as enthusiastically ignoring our wishes. Then they whine that no one ever comes to meetings to tell them they are doing a good job. Boo Hoo?… Do a good job at something, ANYTHING, and I?’ll personally come down there, if you ever get the roads opened up again, and publicly tell you that you are doing a good job. In fact, I?’ll turn this poison pen (keyboard) of mine into pure sugar. I?’ve slammed you, asked you to, as a group, resign and leave town. Do something; just one little thing right, or at least what your constituents ask for and I?’ll sing your praises. But keep on this path of disregard for the constituents?’ very existence and I?’ll keep on my path of asking for you to do the honorable thing and leave in disgrace.

I would like to make a plea here for someone on the School Board to respond in this forum to how the District intends to handle the influx of students being created in Dileyville, for lack of a better description. I?’m sure someone from PATA can provide the numbers, but from what my little brain can count, Dileyville, for all practical purposes, will become a school district within itself. Certainly the Council, with the assistance of a not-too-involved Board of Trustees has made plans for every square foot of land west of Diley Road for its entire length. What plans are you making? Do you think the roads are adequately suited for the increased school bus traffic? If Diley Road is being turned into the newest residential superhighway, don?’t you think some effort should be spent on Long and Wright Roads, for example? Shouldn?’t you be planning a new bus garage on the reclaimed land when Pickerington Ponds becomes Pickerington Puddle? Come on School Board ?– SPEAK OUT! What harm can it do?

People, the dots are all there in front of your face. Just connect them and look at the picture. What is City Council doing for you? What are the Citizens for a Strong yada yada doing for you? NOTHING!

It?’s time for truth?…
It?’s time for change?…
