Land Swap
by R.K. Rice
September 11, 2004
Saturday
The first unsuccessful attempt to stop the land swap (approved
by the majority of the borough assembly) was to try and find
someone who would pay over $1,000,000 for the Ward Cove property.
Next a Veto is tried, but apparently is illegal. The final ploy
is successful, though probably illegal. Exclude a voting member
of the borough assembly and finally achieve the result desired
by the minority.
Talk about slimy-self serving
tactics. A chance for a small piece of our downtown returned
to the people of Ketchikan, an opportunity to put 56 acres of
taxable property under the management of a successful local entreprenuer
vs. another jewelry store or whatever Tipton, Sarber, Lybrand
and Salazar envision, leaves me confused. What do you 4 people
envision?
If a recall is in order, I
will volunteer to help.
Sincerely,
R.K. Rice
