We're Sinking

Unfortunately, I worked late tonight and didn't make the first 45 minutes of the town council meeting.

The meeting was held at the Lions Building because of the discussion with the Area Planning Commission. What questions I heard, were good questions, some repetitive. Someone asked why would we want to join the Commission when we don't have any problems in town. This is where the problem lies. We have had single family homes that have been turned into triplexes and the neighbors don't like it. I get that, but I don't want to have to ask someone permission to be able to do something to my property. A questionnaire was discussed to see what members of the community think of the Area Plan Commission, but at the end of the meeting nothing was resolved.

Once again Rick Stookey was not in attendance at the meeting. Like I said, I missed the beginning of the meeting, so I am not sure what was said about this. The question was asked where and what is going on with Rick Stookey? The board said they were not sure what was happening. I can't figure it out....It is like "Where is Rick Stookey"???

On a sad note, the pizza place has closed and I heard that there are possibly two other businesses that are thinking of closing their doors. I went into the grocery store last week and it saddened me to see what it had become....I am sure people don't frequent it, that is very obvious when you walk in the door. Sad because that is why people came to Leesburg, not anymore. Not sure what the answers to these problems are and I don't think our town council knows either.

So, as someone said last night...."We Are Sinking"
