Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

You?’ve just got to hand it to the incredible veracity of the builder/developer community in the Pickerington market place.

1. They don?’t live there but they want their way.
2. They don?’t position their businesses there but they want their way.
3. They still have their holdover City Council dupes ?– yes Bill, Doug & Mike we all know you were elected by them to represent them so don?’t even pretend otherwise.
4. They still pull the strings of the City Law Director. A position that has done all but give this City to the developers through Ordinances, Resolutions, Referendum & Initiative opposition and least we forget the all important AUTHORIZATION of ?“Contracts?”.

Nah, the people of the area will sit placidly by and ?“buy?” that submitting the lawsuit on the day of the election where the developers were knowingly going to loose control of the local show was ?“neutral?”.

Nah, the court venue wasn?’t carefully selected by the developer cartel to be a Judge that doesn?’t have to go before over 90% of the Pickerington electorate for his position and conveniently is located where these developer corporations hold their office locations.

Nah, the newspapers won?’t make the connection that the law firm being used by the developers in this attempt to rest local residents decisions on zoning and growth rate issues is the same law firm defending the Fall ?’02 ?“Push Pole?” of the firm Competitive Edge. A Push Pole that attempted to alter the citizen votes of the 2 per acre issue. So, of course, the developers had no vested interest and were not a party to this potential election violation of ?’02.

Nah, the City won?’t possible be able to use the defense of the potential illegal involvement of ?“induced annexations?” within the body of the developers statements of ?“A Taking?” when the courts hear and read the evidence.

Nah, no one will be smart enough to do their own legal research on the side of defending the citizens of the City of Pickerington to review the U.S. Supreme Court rulings that moratoriums are legal.

Nah, no one will research Ohio case law that City?’s ___ NOT DEVELOPERS ___ can set zoning, growth rates, and comprehensive land use decisions.

Nah, no one will find previous Ohio case law that forbids CONTRACT ZONING.

Developers have a nice day because as you sleep tonight and every night of this case there surely won?’t be a counter suit that can AND WILL protect the citizens of this community against your wishes and desires.

Harding's Incredible Veracity

You?’ve just got to hand it to the incredible veracity of Bob Harding.

1. Bob Harding doesn't live here but he still wants it his way. He moved to Oregon on October 31, 2003. Start destroying the community where you now live.
2. Bob Harding doesn't work here but he still wants it his way. The taxpayers here can take care of themselves. We don't need your help.

Will the TAXPAYERS of the area sit placidly by and be influenced by someone who no longer lives here or works here but lives 3000 miles away? Nah.

Go away and stay away! Bob Harding -- start destroying your own Oregon community and leave ours alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



By GO AWAY & STAY AWAY

Who Do You Work For??

I would love to know how Bob ever destroyed anything in Picktown. Unlike The BIA, past mayors and councilmen that want to strip everything from this town and leave with a bag of cash, he actually cares what happens to us. I wish him all the luck and am just sad to know he is unable to attend that first meeting in JAN. when the city goes back to the people who are footing the bill.
HAVE A NICE DAY!

Bullcrap

Not that Bob needs anyone to protect him from the likes of whoever you are, but?…

The success of Bob?’s efforts must really be ?“eating?” at you to cause you to post this message here. Perhaps you seek some measure of retribution for how instrumental Bob has been in rallying opposition to your cause. Perhaps you don?’t like the idea that others respect his opinion, or that he?’s been successful in influencing the opinions of others. Perhaps that?’s because you wish they respected your opinion more? Maybe you wanted to be in the paper instead of him, you know, so you could get some attention?

There are many people who have had prominent roles in organizing the turn-around this city is about to experience. Bob?’s was an active, leadership role. He influenced me in my support for taking back control of our community from those who sought to profit from it, and I guarantee I?’m not the only one.

His impact on our community has been very positive, and his new neighbors can only hope he has the same impact there. Too bad he won?’t be here to watch the remaining few of the ?“majority?” (isn?’t that how you used to refer to yourselves?…before this last election) get run out of town.

Don?’t use up all of your venom on Bob too quickly?…he, and the movement he helped create, are nowhere near finished embarrassing you. Hang on, it?’s going to be an unpleasant ride!!! I recommend you see someone, quickly, who can help you deal with your inadequacies. If not, warm up your fingers, because you?’re going to have a lot to complain about.

Ps ?– notice you didn?’t use your name?…you big sissy!
