What is Commissioner Vreeland's problem? His personal hatred is getting in the way of his judgement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331106790862284630.post-60371976341935864712009-12-14T10:42:39.799-06:002009-12-14T10:42:39.799-06:00When the park board says they want to eliminate th...When the park board says they want to eliminate their carbon footprint, and with LGA cuts they need the revenue, what is their logic for turning down this project?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331106790862284630.post-52346172340732144202009-12-11T18:04:02.340-06:002009-12-11T18:04:02.340-06:00That way Vreeland can kill it off the record.That way Vreeland can kill it off the record.taxpaying liberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13717118039494271835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331106790862284630.post-70029075097020093882009-12-11T16:14:33.106-06:002009-12-11T16:14:33.106-06:00At this point, you know it's personal with Par...At this point, you know it's personal with Park Watch and Scott Vreeland. They hate Crown Hydro, they hate Bill Hawks and they hate Nicki Carlson. And they are willing to sacrifice a real renewable energy project just out of spite. He actually loses his temper and starts pounding his finger on the dais just over whether this should be in committee or not. He NEVER even hears they can get off the grid. I just watched the video and at 1:27:25, Vreeland says in January he is going to make a motion to move it back into committee and someone asks "why don't you make it now?" They forwarded this FROM planning to the WHOLE board and it is a complete LIE that it was not supposed to be before the whole board. PREDICTION: Vreeland makes a play to chair the planning committee just so he can KILL this renewable energy project. Pathetic. He ought to be ASHAMED.northstarhttp://minnesota.sierraclub.org/noreply@blogger.com
