Comments on: Parkside: Flippant Coleman Lies About Opposition http://scrutinyhooligans.us/2008/05/29/parkside-not-telling-the-truth/ 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 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:48:31 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Gordon Smith http://scrutinyhooligans.us/2008/05/29/parkside-not-telling-the-truth/comment-page-1/#comment-20859 Gordon Smith Thu, 29 May 2008 22:11:06 +0000 http://www.scrutinyhooligans.us/?p=5512#comment-20859 No, I haven't heard anything. Trust that I'll pass it along as I know it. I'm a believer in transparency - unlike the players in this drama. No, I haven’t heard anything. Trust that I’ll pass it along as I know it.

Don't you want to share your answer with us? Did you not get an answer? Just be open and honest about it. Commissioner Gantt, I understood that the County Commissioners had decided not to address the Parkside issue again until after the June 10th City Council meeting. Now that Mr. Coleman has pulled his plans for that Level 3 Review, what steps will the County take to reacquire the land? I understand after talking with County Manager Greene today that the County is having the Park resurveyed, and I got the impression that Mrs. Greene wasn’t prepared to confirm that the land in Coleman’s possession was, in fact, part of the park. What is the County’s position on whether this was parkland? What is the County plan for reacquisition? Thanks for your time and attention, Gordon Smith Gordon,

Commissioner Gantt,

I understood that the County Commissioners had decided not to address the Parkside issue again until after the June 10th City Council meeting. Now that Mr. Coleman has pulled his plans for that Level 3 Review, what steps will the County take to reacquire the land?

What is the County’s position on whether this was parkland? What is the County plan for reacquisition?

Thanks for your time and attention,

Gordon Smith

Write him an email yourself, or write Wanda Greene. I can't be your secretary, yo. Empower yourself, Tigerswede. What are you talking about, and why do you think I have greater access than you do?

At the County Democratic Convention in April, a resolution strongly condemning the project was unanimously approved by delegates from every Buncombe County precinct.

Coleman is attempting to frame this issue into a "Hippies" vs "Local Business" contest. Personaly, I have no problem with a condo being built on the land. It's a rather attractive building. However, Coleman does not have a right to build the structure on land that was not meant to be his - acquired using unuderhanded means. Agree 100% with you.

Taking a cue from FOX News - label anyone opposed to HIS business as anti-business and flighty. I bet if it was put to a vote, much more than 80 people would vote NO. In fact, I bet 90% of this town would vote no. It should be put to a vote ... oh wait ... ;-) dm What a dick.
