Comments on: Parkside – More Questions Arise http://scrutinyhooligans.us/2008/03/28/parkside-more-questions-arise/ If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen. — Samuel Adams Tue, 22 May 2012 23:13:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Drama Queen http://scrutinyhooligans.us/2008/03/28/parkside-more-questions-arise/comment-page-1/#comment-19198 Drama Queen Sat, 29 Mar 2008 03:36:37 +0000 http://www.scrutinyhooligans.us/?p=5144#comment-19198 Hi Ashevillein. Makes me think we were too nice about these bozos in the video, dontcha think? Thieves and liars. That's how they're coming across here. If they haven't stolen land from the people of their county to give to the rich in an underhanded scheme, they need to come forward right now and explain what they thought they were doing.

Thieves and liars. That’s how they’re coming across here. If they haven’t stolen land from the people of their county to give to the rich in an underhanded scheme, they need to come forward right now and explain what they thought they were doing.

I love the latest quote from Gantt... "I did not know what I was voting on." Huh? Excuse me? Then call the question, asshat. Hmmmm, curiouser and curiouser this gets.

Why didn't anyone say "I'm not voting to sell land without a public hearing." How hard is that? Why would anyone sell public land without more information? Obviously, they had more information and they don't want to tell the public about it. Bill Stanley, Carol Peterson, Nathan Ramsey obviously had this planned in advance.

We all need more data on the Vance Family Lawsuit, which should be totally resolved before ANY City process proceeds. How can the Pack Square CONSERVANCY be Valid if they do not CONSERVE the Peoples' Land and Tree from this 11 story "21 Battery Park" INVASION ??

It makes you wonder how much other history gets "added" to these transcripts.

The run-around I got from county staff last year was: the survey department didn't know why they were surveying, the legal department didn't have anything but a pin number, the tax people didn't know about the survey or the deed ... round and round the mulberry bush. (Or, in this case, the magnolia.) As for the commissioners who sold the property: no excuse is sufficient. They weren't doing their jobs and weren't acting for the benefit of the public they purportedly serve. Great work, Gordon (and Barry and others),
