'Modest Proposal' for hillside debate

The county commission and city council are supposed to hold the final meeting tonight to talk about the nefarious Hillside and Ridgetop Protection Plan. But let's not kid ourselves - they'll probably hold at least one more.

Workshop topics include costs, commercial development and overlay issues.

Additionally, Councilman Nick Della Volpe this morning sent officials his "modest proposal."

You can click right smack here for it.

It's not on the agenda and I'm not going to rehash it. The whole topic is about as interesting as watching paint dry.
(Yeah, yeah, I know, it's important stuff. Whatever.)

But, you should check it out if you are interested. Nick spends much of his focus on the steeper slopes, saying it's too hard to regulate the 65 percent of the less steep stuff, so we should focus on the other 35 percent.

I just hope they make a decision soon.

Tom McAdams has already done everything but come out and said he will sue after they pass it. Why do we keep paying lawyers for dumb lawsuits? Tony Norman should have to pick up the tab.

Nice work, Nick. You're not equipped to do this kind of technical work, AND you send it out on the last day of the joint meetings.

As for lawsuits, McAdams is blowing smoke trying to scare the decision-makers. There are absolutely ZERO grounds for suing over a plan, and he knows it.
