I wanted to get something up before the hearing tomorrow. Apparently there are 10,000 or so parcels not in any district, but probably will be dragged in by the same tactic. I try to stick to facts and what I at least think I know is true. FYI, I am not Jim Farley. And John Newhall doesn't attend any meetings ever, so you have probably not met me. Sound like Petz don't I? I will continue to update and did today with lots of hyperlinks so one and all can get to actual documents. They can read at my site and talk on yours. We all have our place... Thanks for the reference. I wanted to get something up before the hearing tomorrow.
