There have been lots of post on this subject with a whole lot of hearsay, accusations, slander, half truths and animosity. If some of the accusations are true there should be charges brought, people going to jail and large fines. County commissioners have been accused of being in the pocket of the developer, this is bribery and is illegal punishable by fines, removal from office and jail time on both the commissioners and the developer. There should be facts and proof of this, correct? If not then it is slander, hearsay and lies. To slander anyone because you do not like what you perceive to be wrong with no proof is not right and not only hurts the person slandered but the family and associates of the person. Have said it before stick with facts and whole truths. Fully agree that there have been questionable decisions by the commissioners but accusations of crimes need to have proof. Making blanket statements across the board shows little insight, the statements that no cost for infrastructure installation during development is paid by taxpayers or longtime citizens living in community is blatantly false, just look at every NFL stadium built with taxpayer money. If that is not corporate welfare what is.

Need to stick to facts, whole truths, provable assertions and logic.
