The Meeting Julie Dick Did her Op Ed on is going on right now (UDB Line movement request). By Geniusofdespair

Pepe Diaz the puppet. You always know what he will say...what ever the developer said. He is arguing about the size of our wellfield protection zone that it should have been made smaller to not to interfere with this property.

Juan Zapata (the commissioner of the district) made a motion to transmit and deny. He doesn't believe the covenant means anything that the developer offered to put on. Only Barbara Jordan believed the covenant and SHE was one of the Commissioners that lifted it on the Brown application. What a creepy thing to do...to act like it has meaning when Barbara Jordan knows she helped make it meaningless by lifting the covenant against residential on the last application that moved the line. At least Juan Zapata wasn't fooled by the covenants.

He made the same motion for Green City that failed. Zapata had Souto, Jordan, Bovo, Barreiro (will someone run against him), and of course Pepe Diaz. The developer begged that someone locate Monestime.

It is a 6 to 5 vote in favor to transmit and deny. Monestime not there. It needed 7. Absent Districts 4 and 2 districts. No: Districts 3, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Zapata made a motion to deny, that passed.
