[quote=Anonymous]Roll your eyes all you want; they ignored code & sited it (too) close to a tot lot; it's right smack in the middle of a multi use area, and, most importantly, [b]a majority of the people affected voiced opposition[/b]. Not a terribly democratic process. [/quote] This is true for basically any proposal for change. Also, this is how the democratic process works: the voters elect representatives (for example, county council members) who make decisions. And this is NOT how the democratic process works: decisions are made by the people who choose to testify at public hearings.[/quote] The decisions are already made well before public hearings and testimony. It is a dog and pony show. Watch the virtual public hearings the council has, they have the public hearing minutes before they vote and are not swayed by the testimony. [/quote]
