Grace Hall Demolition: 5-1

One should have been enough, but it wasn't. Enough to do what? Stop the City Council's decision to approve demolition of Grace Hall.

The saving grace here is that no demolition permit will be issued by the City until the first building permit is issued for the South Phase.

So what happened tonight?

WCLS made their case to the City Council for compliance with Conditions C and D in the October 2008 Ordinance.

Opponents of demolition stated their case. At times arguments were pretty forceful. There was some mudslinging. More about that tomorrow.

Statements were made that appeared misleading or incomplete, and some of them got challenged. Some questions got asked that never got answered. Sometimes I think those asking questions need to pay more attention to the words that are spoken in reply and, if the question isn't answered, then they need to stop the person who is speaking and ask for the answer to the question that was asked.

It seemed to me that people left the meeting mostly still respecting those who were on the opposite side. People disagreed tonight, but they weren't disagreeable. And that's the way it should be and it was.

More tomorrow on certain issues that were raised and how or whether they got resolved.

I'll drive the bulldozer for a mere $131.00 I'll give that money to your buddy Wayne Beto to shut his pie-hole, and so I dont have to dip into my e-bay till waiting for the surplus of Mikey Jackson drugs to hit the market. On 2nd thought, make it $206, cuz I'll probably get a $75.00 ticket for improper parking after you snap a pic of my vehicle and send to Chief Lowen, who's probably counting the number of pills Sgt Gorski has left! DOH!!!
