WHY DON'T WE JUST GET COMMUNITY SCALE AND WAKE UP WAKE COUNTY AN OFFICE IN CITY HALL?

It would be much easier.

With Raleigh sponsoring Wake UP Wake County's transit forum and Raleigh senior planners assisting with Community Scale's efforts to abridge property rights, they might as well incorporate them into official departments of the city.

NOT SATISFIED WITH ABRIDGING PROPERTY RIGHTS

City Councilman Rodger Koopman apparently has moved on to loftier goals - stripping people of their FIRST AMENDMENT rights under the United States Constitution.

Koopman, upset that Raleigh residents booed at one point during this week's city council meeting, suggested that "they should be ejected" because they upset his friends at the meeting.

This after Koopman, Meeker, Stephenson, & Co. have for the last several years put horns on Raleigh's homeowner community.

JUST POLITICS

I see that the "progressive" community in Wake County has returned to its demonization of Wake County developers. In sophmoric language, the Capital Sierra Club has come out with their list of candidates who will "work for the environment -- not for developers!"

The silence was defeaning last year in relation to the 2006 Wake County School Bond issue. Where was the outcry for their support of the bonds last year? I assume the WakeEd folks, etc. were disturbed by developers, who's sole mission is to destroy Bambi's home, meddling in school issues.

Make up your mind already!
