  1. Some excellent questions Bob. This county needs badly to stop trying to pander to special interests and to fix our core problems. Selling out to developers thru the new Comp plan will accomplish nothing to help an area with failing schools and medical services. Let’s get our essential services up to speed with the limited funds we have.

  2. Concerning the statement by RH Meyers in his item #9:

    Citizens using the facility will generally be ill and will not be as attentive to driving safety as a healthy person.

    The good news is this is not the case. If it were true there would likely be evidence from all around our country that medical centers, hospitals and doctors offices are accident magnets.

    Who will be visiting this center? If half of the visits are babies and children it is unlikely they will be driving. Perhaps a tricycle here or there or maybe a hoverboard but no drivers. A large portion of all visits are by healthy people for a many reasons. Even when there are visits by adults who are not well, evidence would suggest they seek out a designated driver when they might be impaired by illness.

    To assume that citizens using the medical center will be ill and impaired drivers would be like assuming citizens driving to Peebles for clothes are naked. I’m sure it could happen but it is not likely worth watching to see if it will.
