I vote for JJ for this position.
Ever been to one of their meetings along with variances meetings. I have and when questioned to the members if they visited site.no by all. Look at CR196 AND 29 new DG store, bypassed zoning board ruling on 6500 sq ft building and approved 11,000 on 1 1/2 acre and speakers against was asking for a traffic light and the building be rustic looking like Kingsfield Rd and 297store. Makes me wonder on the cash under table bribes. Remember the 4 county comm fired and cash being involved. CAS TALKS
I do not understand why these positions are not paid in some manner. It doesn’t have to be a lot of money, say $300/month plus mileage for travel to/from meetings and to look at sites, if necessary. Another requirement should be residency in the county for at least 5 years.
