Of course that means I have to make 2 appearances before the county commission. The first on the 11th to urge the commission to approve the new member and the second a month later to tell of our decision. Approval is usually unanimous but since last year’s debacle I’ll be more prepared.
Don’t remember last year’s debacle? The hated and reviled head of the EDC (economic development committee) arranged for over a dozen people to attack me prior to my turn at the podium. I was described as horrible and racist by a few of the speakers. I did turn it all around on her and used the Lodger’s Tax law the state has in place to inform her supporters that she has tricked them into talking poorly about me because the law doesn’t allow lodger’s tax to support the projects they spoke in favor of and she was well aware of that fact. I also implied that if she was indeed using Lodger’s tax money for these purposes, the EDC needed to be audited. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her head whip around when I said that.
Months later, the EDC has been audited and she is now gone into hiding (at her parent’s house in SF) because the possibility of charges being placed against her are very real. I’m not sure that my words caused that, but it did bring it to the public’s attention.
But I digress.
I hope to take Tori into SF on my bike and then hit a few state parks to help me gain some ground in the SFH-D State Park Challenge. I’ve been stagnant on that front lately. I’ve got 9 parks under my belt and that leaves me with more than 20 to go. There be prizes involved!
dats it for today. peace out My Friends.
