The cliff notes to the
six hour assembly meeting last night will have to wait until the assembly top
turned a little off its axis stops spinning. The biggest item on the
agenda was the borough wide gravel ordinance including the assembly nod for
gravel mining in the water table or is it mining our drinking water? The ordinance passed after a three hour tit
for tat only to have Assemblyman Woods from Palmer file a motion to reconsider the
ordinance this morning on the “Yes” vote he cast. That puts the whole issue of
a gravel ordinance back on the next regular assembly meeting agenda Dec 20th.
And this is where I get a case of the vapors...
Not sure what that means
or why Assemblyman Woods wants a “do over”, but might get some insight later
when the assembly who clearly didn’t have enough fun last night, meets again at
6pm tonight.
Tonight’s meeting is to consider the re-write
of the subdivision code sponsored by Assemblyman Colver. This tasty
nugget gets a whole meeting to itself.
Radio Free Palmer will
be streaming the Matanuska Borough School Board Meeting at the same time thus
no live coverage on this one. But school issues are important too and
sometimes they tie together like the perfect bow.
If you’re not able to
will yourself to the assembly meeting tonight (hey it was the place to be in
Palmer last night the assembly played to a packed house) when the spinning queasiness is over we'll
put our own spin on it here.
Let’s hope someone got
their nap today…
Pay attention! There is more fun to come despite the wishes of the property owners who want to protect their property values and some planning and zoning to create a predictable and "business friendly" environment. The "open for business" mantra of the current ASSembly is misguided and misinterpreted by the uninformed.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for your tenacity in sitting through these horrendous happenings! i am beginning to think the ASSembly does it on purpose so intelligent people cannot bear to participate. i will stick it out, too. THEY CANNOT PREVAIL!
