[quote=Anonymous]OK, guys, I wrote the response to the first post, and for the record I didn’t attack anybody.  Someone asked a question, and I gave a response, and from there came the accusations of NIMBYism, reverse NIMBYism, and a whole lot of assumptions about motives.

Look, if those knuckleheads at the BOE didn’t sever over 1/3 the KJH site, along with the separate access road to the school, and give it to HOC for an elder care facility, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.  They did, and now they want to squeeze in a school on slopes that, back in 1986, the MCPB said couldn’t be developed.  Let me ask you, if KJH were still there, would you support severing over 1/3 the KJH site, along with the separate access road, from the school to build an elder care facility?  Of course not, and the BOE wouldn’t either.  This isn’t about NIMBYism; it’s about common sense.

Oh, and if that weren’t enough, after the BOE transferred the land for a park, the Department of Natural Resources developed the park with money that carried a restriction against converting it from park use.  The U.S. Senate has inquiries out because it’s unclear whether the federal or state restrictions apply.  Of course, one might ask why the crackerjack SSAC didn’t pick that up, but when you only hold 2 meetings to review 10 sights and don’t keep minutes, it’s kind of hard.  Has that even slowed down the BOE?  Nope.
