After a week online the folks who want to destroy our 80 acres of park land (wetland, floodplain, mature-forest, and duck-pond) managed to build up to 12% — the highest percentage I’ve seen for them. Now this is not a scientific poll, but when considered with the 71% victory of Craig McDaniel and the 62% victory of Sundai Stevenson over entrenched incumbents Milton Slack, Bill Collins, and Evie McNiece (51% each) and no-confidence votes of 43% and 41% for incumbents Bill Irmscher and Buzz Wachsteter in the City Commission election, in is crystal clear that the people of Rome do NOT want their park land sold to private developers. I think 85% is pretty close to the actual majority our side has on this issue. Mayor Jamie Doss, and the rest of our commission have been given a mandate to preserve this wonderful natural heritage for our children and grandchildren.
It is time for us to hear from them about what they intend to do in response to the wishes of the people.
