I concur with SJ. If you think people aren't interested in this situation, I feel you have no inkling of what local government is all about or how it should be conducted, which is for the overall good of the citizenry. Its no circus! It is how you and I live and are treated by our local government, which in our case, happens to be the BCC. My suggestion to you is attend the BCC meeting if you do not. If you do attend, listen to what is going on. It is amazing what you can learn.

Your "opinion" is narrow. This evolving story is not only about the rights' of Driftwood homeowners, but it has also grown into an issue of how our BCC listens, reacts and utilmately governs for the people of this county. The taxpayers of this area should have a voice, especially when that voice on an issue is founded in research and evidence of facts. More and more folks are taking notice of this story and it is largely due to the county's very limited support/action in support of their constituents. I hope the BCC will finally do what is right today.

What is your definition of right? Some, including many of the sitting commissioners already feel that they are doing what is right. Since we live within a Republic form of government, and seeing the way that the recent election came about, I think you good make a very strong argument that the BCC is heading in the right direction.

Robert, How timely a comment. When you read about the minutes from tonight's BCC meeting you'll have to open up a little wider. Tonights meeting proves that citizens can stand up and demand that people be held accountable, even big development. That being said, I hope we can keep the good developers we have to help strengthen our economy. I hope driftwood turns out to be a lesson on how to do the right thing. Doing the right thing in the first place is always easier.

How did it go? I had to leave for a SWHS meeting- double meeting night. I really wanted to stay for the Driftwood part!

It appears that Alan was victorious in his perseverance. This says a whole lot for Pit Bulls, even those that do not wear lipstick.

Point Washington had their say tonight...don't know how victorious exactly, but it is a start. Similar issue with the BCC.....back up the citizens when a mistake is made and make it right. Now it is time to make the planning and zoning responsible for their mistakes and help them get back on track and adhere to the Land Development Code.
