The Mayor owns a construction company, Councilman Lusk owns a construction company, and Councilwoman Thurman specializes in tax and accounting services for development and construction companies. Mr. Large works for a construction company. We do not need this bias on key zoning and policy decisions when the economy finally turns the corner and development money starts pouring in again.
We need balance on the Council.
AMEN! Completely agree. Do we want a city council comprised of those interested in building and development? We need a balance, and Large was recruited by sitting council members to run against Baily and Tart. Who do you want to control your city, the Council, or the people of this town? Well if it's the people of this town, than get out and vote and keep the only two council people on seat who will at least give an opposing view and question motives for zoning and future development. All the others seek an easy path without challenge which is why Large and the other guy were sought out, just like Longoria was as well. There's too much funny business going on behind the scenes as pointed out in another blogg on this site. Stop the funny business with your vote. Just look at all the empty lots the Large and Kunz signs are occupying, and also the disgruntled Wine and Bottle shop owner at the Crossroads who is angry he couldn't have a liquor license, when it was in his original contract from the start with the city to open his business there.
8:18 AM: What is your goal in anonymously calling out the owner of a specific Milton business by name?
what is the business name that was called out?
@11:50 AM: I'll cut and paste it for you: "...the disgruntled Wine and Bottle shop owner at the Crossroads..."
That is not the name of a business.
@3:05 PM: Oh. Ok. I guess I'll have to drive over to the Crossroads and count the many Wine and Bottle shops there and get back to you with the exact business name.
Is this what small business owners have to count as a cost of doing business in Milton? If they have a beef with the city, someone in a position to have very inside details of the beef will post about it anonymously on public forums?
We watched the last council meeting and were saddened to watch several small business owners plead their cases. The most poignant part of the meeting to us should have been the 9/11 proclamation, because our son is a Marine on active duty. But to see those small businesses have to go, hats in hand, and humble themselves about minor stuff...
I think the poster was just referring to the 9 minute introduction to a 12 minute speech. See part 1 of "Matt Kunz Campaign Kick Off" posted on Friday, September 02, 2011.
What you described suggests a systemic problem. I haven't seen or heard anyone say anything or act in a way that was anti-business - large or small. This particular issue involved community driven guidelines that the business owner agreed to in writing and then changed his mind and got angry about it.
Ordinarily an anonymous post interpreting an anonymous post does not add clarity. But you pointed me to a video that did.
