You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
So Abe has it correct, the cart before the horse?
ReplyDeleteAmazing isn't it. The NIZ gets passed without a single Municipality aware that this is getting voted on. Then the Arena Project gets on the fast track and people are not concerned about how/whom is driving the train on this. Just makes you want to know who's palms are being greased and how many are in the pot!!
ReplyDeleteAre you telling me this arena is being built with-out being approved? Are these the same folks that won't Rite Aid to build?
ReplyDeleteA plan was approved in January. This is a new one.
ReplyDeleteA lot of smoke and mirrors with this whole thing. As much as most of the folks don't like Abe, they have made a lot of good points regarding this whole mess.
