BRAVO

JH,

Better words could not be spoken in these dark times! Can any lover of democracy explain to this simple tax paying citizen what sort of democracy we live in? After watching our ruling class (last council meeting) explain why the citizens can't decide for themselves how this community should grow I feel democracy is dead as long as this council is in place!

I saw the beginning of the attacks on Mr. Hackworth as Fox explained how simple this petition process is. I guess our revolutionary country men were also told how simple the Kings tax system was. Can anyone please tell me if the 700 plus homes that have building permits will be built even with this present moraturium in place. Fox claimed that most would not have signed the petition if they knew the moraturium was in place. I think the 700 new permits could have convinced most people ho this council is using their power to bury us all! He should never be voted for in any election, ever again.

The same members that voted against the PEOPLE should vote themselves out of office.

PS. Mr. Parker, if you cannot make the meetings on votes that impact the community, RESIGN the next time you make it to a meeting. You certainly were there when you voted to plat those 4000 plus homes by emergency.
How many building permits??

Dear Reccer,

HOW MANY building permits have been issued in Pickerington this year? The last number I heard was 355, but your posting indicated 700+. Isn't that double the amount issued in 2002? Have any of the papers published the latest number? Shouldn't the general public be informed of this?

Who knows?

Dear Anonymous,

Sorry for the confusion. The 700 was using an average per month and at a rate at which the city was issuing permits. As of today I'm not sure what the exact number is. But at the rate they were going it could be anything. The 355 was the last number I heard publically at a council meeting 2 months ago. Ms. Bushman does not seem to want to state in public what the number is unless asked by a member of council! So much for the Manager's report!

The savior of all of our problems (the proposed CDA) will allow another 300. So I'm sure the total is going to be significantly higher than last year. Unfortunately, enough of our residents aren't even aware of the future building craze that is poised to begin. You ain't seen nothing yet!

Good Luck to us all!!
