The two Libertarians on the board are concentrating on making the the town's zoning and building requirements less intrusive. It takes a lot of discussion, but we are being met with some sucess. <BR/>If at sometime in the future, we are able to convince people to do away with the planning and zoning laws, I'll be among the first and happiest to go back to just making a living. Until then, I would rather have Libertarians on these boards limiting the governments power, than R's and D's expanding that power. But thats just my opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14779913.post-1133023706391725672005-11-26T11:48:00.000-05:002005-11-26T11:48:00.000-05:00It's funny how people can view events in totally d...It's funny how people can view events in totally different ways. My first thought when Rex reported about the no-shows, was that it was good that a government entity had been forced to shut down, even if only temporarily. Maybe it could get people thinking about whether the entity should even exist in the first place.<BR/><BR/>And the campaign issue idea strikes me as strange too. I'm not looking for libertarians, or anyone "to govern in a responsible way." I'm looking for people wanting to dismantle most of the governing boards and such so each of us can govern ourselves as much as possible.Debbie H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02209691050549648880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14779913.post-1133013911903718462005-11-26T09:05:00.000-05:002005-11-26T09:05:00.000-05:00Looks like good campaign issue for teh Hagerstown ...Looks like good campaign issue for teh Hagerstown Libertarians. This is solid proof that the Republicans in your town won't or can't govern. This is a fair campaign issue and distinguishes us from them. Libertarians will govern in a responsible way - Republicans wont'. I imagine the lack of quorum means several businesses and homeowners are further delayed from implementing legitimate building projects.Mark W.

I submitted the names of two Libertarians that were willing to serve. The Town Council searched frantically to find two Republicans to appoint. The new appointees do not attend 80% of the meetings, aand our last meeting was called off because we didn't have a quorum. It's comical what the powers to be will do to keep us down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
