Like Jerry, former Exec John Stoffa and incumbent Lamont McClure have been forceful advocates of open space. But recognizing that Jerry started it, McClure said he'd like to name the Bear Swamp Archery Complex for Jerry.
I asked Jerry how he felt about this, and he was quite touched by this gesture. "I'm just glad the County owns no sewage treatment plant or landfill," he quipped.
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.
Is Heckman that Fluke or is it a Flake?
ReplyDeleteGerry's funny. I've often said the only things that should be named for politicians are sewage plants and dumps. Anything else is out of character and insulting to voters and taxpayers.
ReplyDeleteGeorge Washington the "Father of our Nation" and then you have Gerry Seyfried the "father of open space preservation". Whaaaaat a STUD........Right up there with the big guys
ReplyDeleteI was told once that you never wanted a building or most anything named after you because it meant you were dead or someone thought you were about to be dead or somoene hoped you were dead.
ReplyDeleteJerry said if the County names anything after him once he passes, like a memorial Bridge or a memorial road, that he won't come to the dedication.
