Some on Islandermania questioned his existence. Score one for BD. <br /><br />What happened to today's comment you promised? Sorry, don't mean to put pressure on you, but you have me interested (as I think you know by now). <br /><br />I do hope your take on this is accurate. It means that there are still hurdles, but lower ones left.

Clark was a way to hold up the process and blame Charles Wang for it. However, when the Town pleasantly surprised me by voting to schedule the zoning hearing, I began to wonder if something else was at play here. Then, when things started happening quickly, like BD's chat with "Ass-to-Mouth" (I know who it is, and no I won't tell you), these letters, and then the new developments later in the week, I felt safe making the call. Time will tell.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11753698648862261183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420070021149211641.post-34521533725621905512009-09-13T14:46:36.913-04:002009-09-13T14:46:36.913-04:0019 Isles - the main thing that informed my opinion...19 Isles - the main thing that informed my opinion is that the Town is asking for things that are covered by agreements with other agencies, and that will almost certainly be done. Therefore, when these things happen - because they should - Kate can claim it was all because of her, even if it wasn't.<br /><br />That having been said, we'll all be watching her closely.

Kate seems to be playing coy and pointing out other's issues in a High Schoolish kind of way. <br /><br />Is she sand bagging to say ... "See ... I didn't get cooperation from the developers?" .. OR ... is she truely dotting the i's and crossing the t's.<br /><br />I hope of course she's preparing for the approval process... and that Charles and Tom keep a cool head about their comments and not give her ammunition.19 Isle in NJ 22noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420070021149211641.post-69993865047229241882009-09-13T00:47:55.776-04:002009-09-13T00:47:55.776-04:00I'll throw it out to the readership.

I...Anon - none of that, we're all friends here. I don't want to police the comment space.<br /><br /> Dee - I think my last 2 pieces on this lay out my opinion on this. This is the first time Kate has publicly shared what it would take to get re-zoning approved. That provides us with something we can use to police her, to make sure she doesn't keep moving the goalposts. At the same time, when these provisions are adopted by the people actually responsible (County, organized labor, etc.), Kate can claim a victory out of a process that has pummeled her. I genuinely think this is the political calculation at play here - she's setting up the Murraygrams touting her amazing leadership on the Lighthouse by suggesting things any reasonable party would want the Lighthouse to do anyway.<br /><br />I understand your perspective - we just have a difference of opinion here. This is starting to feel different than the stupid mistakes the Town has made in this process.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11753698648862261183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420070021149211641.post-72677572574491260152009-09-13T00:19:19.232-04:002009-09-13T00:19:19.232-04:00I don't know, Dee.

It will, of course, come down to the details, and how far each side is willing to be reasonable and compromise. <br /><br />I just can't shake this nagging feeling that Murray and Garden City are cooking this up to be able to kill, or at the very least keep delaying the project and blame it on Wang. I hope I am wrong. Continuing to have everything she does questioned and blown back at her will certainly help. I know we thought August 4 was the big day, I guess September 22 is looking just as big.mw147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420070021149211641.post-48190924429806858152009-09-12T13:39:07.276-04:002009-09-12T13:39:07.276-04:00I still believe it is going get done.
