WOMEN OF DEARBORN COUNTY SOCIAL
Your host
Kathy Scott for Commissioner
This is an invitation to come together to share your feelings, concerns, and needs as citizens of this county. Your input is needed to provide good leadership and future direction.
Sunday April 20th from 2-4 PM
Dearborn Adult Center
311 Tate Street, Lawrenceburg
I am your neighbor and will work very hard to care for our community. In this world of uncertainty, we all need a safe place to come home to. Our children need a healthy place to play; they need education, careers, and jobs that will sustain them through all times. We want a community that grows while keeping its values and integrity as a model for our children.
With this invitation, I am asking you to tell me what is important to you as mothers, career women, and grandmothers so I can represent you in our county government.
Kathy Scott
Candidate for D-1 Commissioner

Three mothers are sitting on a bench in at the Dearborn County Country Club talking about (what else?) how much their sons love them.
Sadie says "You know that expensive painting hanging in my living room? My son, Maynard, bought that for me for my 75th birthday. What a good boy he is and how much he loves his mother."
Minnie says, "You call that love? You know the Mercedes I just got for Mother's Day? That's from my son Gary. What a doll."
Shirley says "That's nothing. You know my son Bob? He's in analysis with a psychoanalyst up in the city. Five session a week. And what does he talk about? Me."

The Harvard School of Medicine did a study of why women like Chinese food so much. The study revealed it is due to the fact that WonTon spelled backwards is "Not Now".
Too bad Kathy is killing her own campaign. A few days ago advice was given to call her directly, endorsing "closed door, back door negotiations". And this entry clearly shows her limiting membership for her "social".
Hypocrisy at it's best.
Keep reaching, Finkelstein.
Have Rick and Jeff show up in a dress.
They pretty much are already Bob Ewbank's "girls."
An open invitation to speak with Scott at the Dearborn Adult Center
is lamely charactized as a
"closed door, back door negotiation?"
Sad...just how far you pukes have fallen.
Too bad Kathy is killing her own campaign.
Kathy Scott could play Russian roulette with a bullet in every cylinder and still beat Jeff Hughes in the primary!!!
When will the DCEDI begin to hold their "open" meetings at the Dearborn Adult Center?
And this entry clearly shows...
...you have nothing to offer but lame, empty attacks. Who will be left to throw taxpayer dollars your way, once all your corrupt buddies are thrown from office? Will Ewbank, Lehner or Maxwell hire you on? I don't think so.
You got something against the ladies having a little tea and talking?
You got something against the ladies having a little tea and talking?
It is that whole "out in the open, in public" part that throws them for a loop.
Our development friends, do so hate involving the "public" in their scheming to abscond with the "public's" money!
Let a man show up for Scott's little PUBLIC meeting and he will not be turned away.
Let any one of us non-dcedi members show up for a dcedi strategy session and let's see what happens.
And not one tax dollar is paying for Scott's little get together.
The same cannot be said about the dcedi get together, can it?
Don't expect much more of OUR money going to the DCEDI after this year's election.
DCEDI members, please feel free to place the blame on your most active and public advocates.
Remember them when you may need to purchase their like and most fungible services.
Let a man show up for Scott's little PUBLIC meeting and he will not be turned away.
Let any one of us non-dcedi members show up for a dcedi strategy session and let's see what happens.
Think of it as a focus group- a large diverse one open to at least 50% of voters and citizens. What is closed about that?
Seems like the lawyers,bankers, realtors and developers are jealous of Kathy Scott's open invitation to the public. Those previous posts are a good indication that the open meeting on the 20th has "hit a nerve".
Kathy you're on the right tract.
GET'M GAL!
Bye, bye Jeff Hughes. Not only have you let the residence of the county down ,but the developers not longer suport you either. Must be lonely.
So who are the developers supporting in the D-1 election- if not Hughes?
"So who are the developers supporting in the D-1 election- if not Hughes?"
LOL...It's Hell not to have a good choice!!
The developers are supporting Rick Pope. This is a fact. Rick and John Maxwell are good friends and ride bikes together. Rick has even mentioned he will not run without Maxwells support. A vote for Rick Pope , is a vote for Maxwell!
The old boy network has run the county for to long. Time for all the citizens to be heard. Ms Scott is a breath of fresh air. Being in the health care field I'm sure she is more than capable of "sterilizing" the county.
Maxwell is just being pragmatic in supporting Pope. He used up Jeff Hughes to the point that he is now unelectable and certainly Scott will not be his bo bo. Pope is just his hail mary pass to save his influence over the commissioners.
I think Pope views himself as a balanced person- he lives a suburban life but operates farms in the area.
Does riding bikes with Maxwell somehow make him pro development?
Does riding bikes with Maxwell somehow make him pro development?
We already have enought people in local office who want to be Maxwell's friends.
New blood and fresh faces are what this county needs.
I'm waiting to see Rick Pope's offical stance on the issues in the county. Anyone seen anything in print yet?
Trust me, Rick Pope is the choice of the developers, They used Hughes up and have pulled the carpet out from under him. You think you can believe what is written by a canidate during an election. I've know Rick for years. Although he does farm, when he was on Planning and Zoning Board, he sided with the developers too many times. To tell you about Rick and John Maxwell would take to long.
Well, let us not put Rick Pope in any position for his development benefactors to "pull the carpet out" from him somewhere down the line.
Vote for Scott.
She stands on hardwood floors.
They rode Vera and put her away wet...they are in the process of wasting Jeff...Rick will be yet another disposable casualty in the general election...
...who in their right mind could trust these development Bozos to be there for them when they are all politically spent?
When was the last time that Lisa Lehner publicly whispered into Vera Benning's ear? Vera, it will never happen again. Was it worth it?
Don't rob benning of her delusions.
Jeff and Rick will be the next to be ridden hard and put away wet.
Charlie Fehrman and the new probable future, dog meat pony, Maynard, may very well experience the same fate.
Charlie Fehrman voted out of public office...could a Maxwell Inc. pink slip be very far behind?
For every one of our tax dollars that Fehrman and Barrott voted for , or try to vote for, that just was to be given to the DCRSD and their like minded crooks, it was only to provide such crooks with the ability to coerce ten times that amount of money from the rest of us to pay for the sewers and development of their buddies, family and masters.
Exactly!
Give a corrupt organization like the dcrsd a dollar, that is simply a means to finance their corrupt BODs to pay for means to force folks to chip in for a few politically connected realtors and developers' sewers to better their bottomlines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May the new and improved public office holders, that will, inevitably, be elected this year, pull the plug on the taxpayer life support to the DCRSD.
It's this easy. Scott, Hammond, Hoog, and Darling represent the people, not the developers. Thank Fox ,Hughes and Nugent for the higher taxes we are paying. they were in charge when taxes sky rocketed .
Charlie Fehrman...time to get a real day job, not co-dependent on your fragile position as an elected official.
Yea, and Nugent says he'll take care of these high taxes. HE CREATED THEM.
"Thank Fox ,Hughes and Nugent..."
Nugent will blame Fox and Hughes and then simply slither his way forward to the utilization of more useful and currently available dupes.
We all need to pretend that lowering our taxes is somehow dependent on forcing our families into getting loans for tens of thousands of dollars to buffer the finances of a few of our more pampered development interests in this county!
Thanks Johnny!
Nugent should shoulder more of the blame for Rick Fox causing so trouble for the county. His support of Fox last election was the main reason Mark Hall lost that election. I don't think we would be in the mess we are now if Hall was commisioner.
If only the dcedi could have duped the redneck landowners up in the N.W. Quadrant to sell their land for a fraction of its proposed worth, our local economy would be humming along right now, for a few dcedi members and their leg-humping troops...
Nugent should shoulder more of the blame
Nugent screwed his own pooch the last few local election years.
He came to believe that he was more important and powerful than what he truly was.
Expect him to be almost invisible this coming election cycle.
In the end, Johnny, will look out for his own political best interests first.
Poor Rick "Johnny Likes Me" Fox.
Nugent has devolved from simply an albatross to a ten ton political sinking anchor for Rick.
"It's this easy. Scott, Hammond, Hoog, and Darling represent the people, not the developers"
Representing the people is one thing. Knowing what to do in the public arena is another.
I am sorry, Hammond is purely agenda driven. Scott? All I have to say is Thompson. Hoog? The movie Deliverance.
Representing the people is one thing. Knowing what to do in the public arena is another.
And the not-ready-for prime-time and public presentation of Benning, Fox and Hughes did what for us in the "public arena?"
Other than following every memo from the Ewbank/Lehner/Total/Cluster/Fudge of a self-serving-syndicate to the very letter?
"I am sorry, Hammond is purely agenda driven. Scott? All I have to say is Thompson. Hoog? The movie Deliverance."
So says a development driven whore or development whore practioner.
What will be your drug of choice to sedate your pain come election night?
I am so glad you are using words like development. Forced sewer hookups was getting so old.
Agenda driven? Try Rick Fox. He bought land with developer Tom Kent and then wants county road improments on roads just south of that property.
I am so glad you are using words like development. Forced sewer hookups was getting so old.
What next, little pumpkin, are you going to look for spelling errors?
It must truly suck believing you were the big fish in the little pond...
...after the minnows nibbled off your tail.
Forced sewer hookups was getting so old.
So. that is why the Dearborn County Council cut off your funding for such crooked "forced sewer hookups," they just got tired about hearing how much you wanted to screw their families and neighbors.
I just got so, so, so OLD!
It got so old old old old...
...so old...
their forcing hookups to subsidize their development agenda driven old old old...
...so old...
...corruption...
Q: What has 60 legs and two teeth?
A: The front row of those hopeful would-be candidates hoping for an endorsement from our local republican party leadership.
"I am sorry, Hammond is purely agenda driven. Scott? All I have to say is Thompson. Hoog? The movie Deliverance."
You are right- you ARE sorry- one sorry person. All three of these people have more intelligence, integrity, and character than you. You need to look beyond the exterior and the obvious- to what these three really stand for.
You may dress up but you are rotten on the inside and your crass evaluation exposes that.
Well spoken. These idiots always end up showing their true colors.
"You may dress up but you are rotten on the inside and your crass evaluation exposes that."
I've seen her all dressed up, brown bag and all, still I would not "hit it!"
Her value to her suitors, is her ability to lie, on cue, within the restraints permitted and provided by the payroll department of the dcedi membership committee.
Agenda driven?
How laughable!
Never has this county been so "agenda driven" by development forces!
Greed must turn reason into muck!
The development crooks up in St. Leon and their dishonest enblers in county government had an agenda towards people like Thom Hammond, long before Thom Hammond formed his agenda to finally fight back.
Messmore,in your newspaper column,why didn't you mention about the pollution in Hogans Creek,how much taxpayer money was wasted on Vieste,,and why didn't you do your homework on them before they were hired? I'm sorry was this a vile comment? Quit being such a girly man.
Sounds like Messmore is getting nervous about election day,why don't you get a real job.I know he is selected not elected.
Yuppie, fratboy would-be bullies certainly get all estrogen filled when their would-be victims begin to fight back.
Maybe Messmore would not be a good fit with the incoming and newly elected public officials.
Maybe a career counselor should be provided Messmore at the County's expense?
It would appear that Messmore will just be another Dearborn County casualty who hooked his lame horse up to the wrong wagon. When will these dupes begin to come to the realization that Ewbank and Company were only fleeting self-defined political power brokers? Their blowhard regime is and always was destined to fail and crumble away.
Vile comment?
Did Messmore witness how "vile" Ewbank was, during a Commissioners' Meeting, to Thom Hammond, because Thom Hammond was making Ewbank's buddie and benefactor, Maxwell, uncomfortable?
Who elected Ewbank?
Where does Ewbank get off with providing anything other than the legal input he was hired to do with our tax dollars?
Ewbank over-stepped his bounds and will be fired by the incoming Commissioners who are not beholden to him for their livelihood.
Goodbye Bryan.
With Rick and Jeff's letter of recommendation, you career is certainly destined to go meteoric after you are also fired.
Messmore fit comfortably in the Development stocked and groomed echo chamber.
Messmore thinks cops are REQUIRED at county meetings. This is the code he quoted as saying that:
IC 36-2-2-15
Administration of oaths; enforcement powers of executive; execution of executive orders by county sheriff
Sec. 15. (a) The county auditor or a member of the executive may administer all oaths required by this chapter.
(b) The executive may:
(1) punish contempt by a fine of not more than three dollars ($3) or by imprisonment for not more than twenty-four (24) hours; and
(2) enforce its orders by attachment or other compulsory process.
(c) Fines assessed by the executive shall be executed, collected, and paid over in the same manner as other fines.
(d) The county sheriff or a county police officer shall attend the meetings of the executive, IF REQUESTED BY THE EXECUTIVE, and shall execute its orders.
As added by Acts 1980, P.L.212, SEC.1. Amended by Acts 1980, P.L.125, SEC.15; P.L.131-1983, SEC.11.
Sounds like Messmore is a LIAR.
Vile comment----
Messmore says people are required to get on the agenda a week prior to the meeting. Can Mr. Messmore truthfully say that is an accurate statement? Jim West was always on the agenda a week prior?
(d) The county sheriff or a county police officer shall attend the meetings of the executive, IF REQUESTED BY THE EXECUTIVE, and shall execute its orders.
Poor Messmore...the speed of the internet exposes once again his, at best, ignorance and at worst, his complicity with the "same old...same old" Development self-interested generated lies and obfuscations.
Please Bryan, if you have any independent thought processes, do not rely on Development shysters to give you a meaningful interpretation of the law, if such law does not jive with Development's agenda.
Mr. Messmore, I wish for you that the new County Commissioners and new County Attorney take great pains to make the replacement of you as privately as possible and without undue embarassment...
...you are more than just your title...
...you will land on your feet, no doubt.
Messmore says people are required to get on the agenda a week prior to the meeting.
How convenient!
To give our "impartial" development owned commissioners and their boss man attorney enough time to call one of their kindred cronies to counter someone on the agenda that meets the needs of the certain powerful development interests in this county.
And plenty of time to heap praise and to hump the leg of their kindred cronies as the development owned commissioners and their resident shyster berate the non-development-ass-kisser.
Vile?
Tell that to all those good people who worked long and hard on THEIR county's Comprehensive Plan, only to have it shelved because it not fit the needs of a few corrupt self-appointed, self-anointed, movers and shakers of this county!!!
Could Bryan have messed-up-more?
In the newspaper, Mr. Messmore is complaining about Mueller's blog. Why does he not encourage someone of his like mind to start a blog? Is he afraid his side's arguments would not survive such public scrutiny. Does he long for the good old days of just handing out little more than a press release and refusing to address the public in debate? Is Mr. Messmore an autocratic dinosaur in our new information age?
Is there anyone foolish enough left out there willing to stake their political and/or professional careers upon the direction and counsel of those in or associated with our inept and self-serving local republican leadership/DCEDI and their ego-inflated but intellectually lackluster and more practiced legal prevaricators?
Messmore is above all this stupid
talk, he doesnt need a blog
This blog is garbage, to all
You know nothing about nothing
have fun with this comment It will
keep you occupied for a while.
he doesnt need a blog
Messmore would possibly do better in a county or country where free speech and expression are not provided to the non-ruling classes...
...free speech and expression being the garbage it is, to you.
Goose step to sleep now, little Nikita...
"You know nothing about nothing"
We all should only know enough of what is provided to us within the four corners of our forced hook-up letters, nothing more!
We need not know more!
Knowledge of masses does not benefit the dcedi governing membership!
GO MESSMORE YOU ARE GREAT
CHRIS HAS FINALLY MET HER
MATCH,
CHRIS, RALPH, KATHY AND ALL YOU WANT A BEEEEEEEEEEEES
Ronald Reagen would weep if he could see how close our local republican leadership resembles the ideals of a communist/socialist organization that caters to its elites.
CHRIS, RALPH, KATHY AND ALL YOU WANT A BEEEEEEEEEEEES
And the last of the never-to-be-gainfully-employed-forever-corrupted-patronage-hires speaks what is left of her mind...
WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD WANT TO BEEEEEEEEEEEES MESSMORE OR BEEEEEEEEEEEES EWBANK OR BEEEEEEEEEEEES FOX OR BEEEEEEEEEEEES HUGHES OR BEEEEEEEEEEEES ANYONE WILLING TO BEEEEEEEEEEEES ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH COMMON TRASH.
OK- enough of this- lets get back to ISSUES.
"CHRIS HAS FINALLY MET HER
MATCH"
For one of her dryer's supposive eaten odd socks.
OK- enough of this- lets get back to ISSUES.
Will you chaperon my next party?
chaperon with and e...
...chaperone...
...a chaperon always needs an e to tag along to keep the chaperon out of trouble.
A wing person- so to speak
A wing person- so to speak
A "wingman," so to speak.
Save the politically correct jargon for another time and place.
A fighter pilot will always place his trust in his "wingman," no matter the gender of his "wingman."
Amazing, Rick fox and Jeff Hughes wanted to "overlay zone over 4000 acres of farmland industrial and tonight on the news people are rioting all over the world because of food shortages and look how much food priices are here.Yea, lets make the Honda Chinese even more weathy.Wake up America.
Amazing, Rick fox and Jeff Hughes
"AMAZING" and Rick Fox and Jeff Hughes should never be used in the same sentence!!!
"Amazing, Rick fox and Jeff Hughes wanted to "overlay zone over 4000 acres of farmland industrial... "
And then Messmore sticks up for them as responding to the outcry over the vendor by promptly terminating the contract.
1. Prompt? months
2. Terminating? Paying off-lots of wasted money and a payoff.
3. Vendor? Why weren't they thoroughly checked out BEFORE signing a contract for the big bucks?
Vieste was hired to be a taxpayer funded lobbying group for our few chosen development interests.
The taxpayers and property owners were just viewed as exploitable interests to line the pockets of those chosen few development interests.
Nothing more.
MESSMORE sounds like your in that RED ZONE. i have nothing to say.
vile commnet---
Messmore will soon be holding the box of nails for Jeff Hughes. His $69,000 paid position will be given to someone that can report something at a meeting.
Looks like Messmore will soon to be Vera Benning's assitant secretary for the soon to be defunked DCRSD.
You could not be, for you can not
spell, HaHa
You could not be, for you can not spell, HaHa
Now we all know that neither spelling nor proper punctuation is a perquisite for a dcrsd secretary patronage hire.
The basic elements of economic desperation and a brown nose will suffice to meet the secretarial position's criteria for further tax dollar teat sucking.
DON'T FORGET THE REQUIREMENTS OF OUR NEW AND CONFLICT RIDDEN SEWER DISTRICT: THE ABILITY TO SELL YOUR NEIGHBORS OUT TO BENEFIT THOSE YOU THINK MAY THROW SOME MONEY OR SOCIAL RECOGNITION YOUR WAY.
"THE ABILITY TO SELL YOUR NEIGHBORS OUT"
Wasn't one of our now ex-commissioners already thrown out of office for that very same predilection? How is it that ex-commissioner is still on the taxpayer/public paid dole? Reminds one of an obnoxious party guest that refuses to go home.
Imagine having a majority of elected officials that do not answer or feel beholden to the likes of a non-elected Ewbank!
How great will that be?
When Kathy Scott is elected Commissioner, maybe, in her capacity as an emergency room nurse, she could aid Messmore in the removal of that Blue Tooth cyst which seems to have grossly transfigured what used to be his ear?
I once believed that our local hyper-development centered crooks were of the professional liar category. Now, as it is clear for all the world to see, they are just simply bush league amateur liars, willing to say anything, no matter how incredulous it may sound to the rest of us, to hang by their fingernails onto their little fiefdoms of power!
"You could not be, for you can not
spell, HaHa"
Ha! Ha! You are now a lowly, suck-up political hire secretary of an entity your stupidity helped create, that is soon to be defunded out of existence by a more honest group of elected officials...
Issues people- issues!
Issues people- issues!
Dear Hall Monitor,
The competence and truthfulness of our public officials are issues of great import.
Not to denigrate your wonkiness need for discussion of more technical and attention sapping issues.
Yours truly,
Another Perspective
Funny.

The internet is making life really tough for our local few, but politically connected, bully development minded thugs.
Kathy Scott will be a travesty as a Commissioner.
"Kathy Scott will be a travesty as a Commissioner."
For those who so hunger, a hunger that craves down to the depths of their already impoverished souls, to run slip-shod over the average, everyday people, to better cater to their most desperate, depraved, avaricious and covetous selfish desires.
We need to support, with absolute and unequivocal gusto, whomever Ewbank and Morris order us to support.
Why do you think they formed the DCEDI, after all?
Maxwell and his sort will accept no less!
Unlike Benning, Scott will not blush and gush if a Development Operative paid her an empty compliment to better grease his way into OUR wallets and pocketbooks.
"Kathy Scott will be a travesty as a Commissioner."
And what has Jeff Hughes demonstrated to be as a County Commissioner?
Kathy Scott, with three halves of her brain tied firmly behind her back, would still prove to be a better Commissioner than Ewbank's Jeff Hughes.
Is there anyone stupid enough this election cycle to brag about any endorsement from our proven to be deep in the pocket of corrupt Development interests local Republican Party Leadership?
When Jeff Hughes loses the republican primary he will blame it on those republicans who had the time and money to come out to vote...
...and they do not represent those who would have voted for him...
...but...
...somehow...
...did not.
Vote for Rick Fox and Jeff Hughes!!!
Don't force Bob Ewbanks to run for office!!!
Who would vote for him???
Rick and Jeff, that's the ticket!!!
For Bob's plans!!!
Where's Dan Batta when you need him?
We have a lot of candidates to choose from. How are people going to figure out who really is what they say they are.
Example: Hughes talked about having town hall meetings in his last campaign. How'd he go from that to shutting out the public at regular meetings?
What's with the judge's races? Is that just a sign war or what?
Example: Hughes talked about having town hall meetings in his last campaign. How'd he go from that to shutting out the public at regular meetings?
Bob Ewbank allows Jeff Hughes to talk...
...but he will not let him do what he easily talks about...
...because John Maxwell does not afford...
...Bob Ewbank to do the same.
You think Maxwell controls Ewbank?
Come on!
Ewbank doesn't need Maxwell.
does she have a brain?
who is she?
"does she have a brain?"
Not only does she have a brain, she also possess something that most of the current leadership lacks. A conscience.
Ewbank doesn't need Maxwell.
Their are plenty of movers and shakers' butts to sfiff...
I would like to know how Kathy Scott would handle other issues in this county. Like the lack of professional jobs. I have read all the things she has wrote but they seem to be the small things that are going on in this county. I don't live near St Leon but I am still apart of this County and I would like to know where my kids can work after getting a college education and still live near me in this county.
The comp. plan laid out a smart and managable process for development, commercial and otherwise.
What has Rick Fox and Jeff Hughes done with that plan?
Fox and Hughes just want to open up the entire county to leap frog development, paid for by those unfortunate enough to live near some land that comes up for sale. First, a forced hookup letter arrives in the mail to pay for some developer's sewers miles away from existing infrastructure. Then it just goes on from there. No price is to high for the rest of us to profit the politically connected few.
Jeff Hughes and Rick Fox have already proven they are willing to force John Zeiden's neighbors to help pay for his sewers because he built his reception center on unsewered land for unsewered land prices.
We are just exploitable assets to Jeff, Rick, their enablers and masters.
jeff thats what you get when you dont micro manage it coming back at you now how you like us now..

Don't know how Scott would handle it- but professional jobs exist in thsi county in some fields. A county of 50,000 is not going to habe the diversity of professional jobs that a big city will have. I expect some kids will work here and some will have to go to Cincinnati to work in a chosen profession, if they want to live here. The drive to parts of the city is no worse than a drive across this county.
It isn't realistic to expect to have every profession available in the county. We want our kids to have opportunities. That SOMETIMES means letting them leave us.
you do.
You do what?
What a crazy idea. Create jobs in Dearborn County.
What a crazy idea. Create jobs in Dearborn County.
And we can do that without ruining the rural nature of this county and not giving developers free license to develop whatever and wherever they wish.
The Comprehensive Plan was a good start, but since it did not give free reign to our local greedy developers, Fox and Hughes tabled it.
The development interests' idea of balancing those who cherish the rural nature of this area with their interests is to let developers develop wherever they please and the rest of us are left to balance either paying for their sewers or getting hauled into court by lawyers our tax dollars pay for if we refuse to pay for their sewers!!!
Yeah. When lawyers being paid on our dime are not trying to sue us into compliance with their development buddies' development, they try to harass us during county meetings, like that pos Ewbank did to Hammond because he dared to question Ewbank's buddy Maxwell.
Ewbank's ego done in Fox and Hughes and sapped away any remaining legitimacy and credibility of the current republican leadership.
If I want to put an industrial development near S.R. #1 and I-74.
Is everybody good with that?
If I want to put an industrial development near S.R. #1 and I-74.
Is everybody good with that?
Talk to the folks up in that area.
The last time, our inpocket public officials conspired with a few development interests to keep such a plan quiet in order to dupe the public out of their land to better the profits of a few politically connected development interests.
Play above board this time, maybe you can find someone who does not distrust you.
You have to earn trust. Our local crop of developers are nothing but bullies that would use their connections to sue us silly until they get their way. Property owners should only be heard if they are of the John Zeiden variety. Anyone else should have their voice's squelched. Right Mr. Ewbank?
The usual suspects of realtors/developers/bankers/shysters have shown nothing but contempt for the rest of us.
Which is why the chose first to force their development down our throats and now will try the kindler and gentle approach, after their massive failure.
We will not see any real change in their behavior until we remove their enablers from county goverment, starting with Ewbank, Messmore, Fox, Hughes, Fehrman, Morris and Barrett.
The bad news for those who want to develop willy-nilly across this County is that the majority of folks who have chosen to live here their entire lives and those who have chosen this County as their new home, do not wish to see it turned into another Warren County.
Strong-arm techniques have not and will not curry favor for our developers.
As recent history has shown.
Let's clean house on election day and get rid of these damn crooks once and for all.
Ewbank and Maxwell and their like's massive/aggressive approach to political matters will prove to be the best friend of Smart Growth proponents.
the days of hitler is gone we hope.see if all the commissioners would like to talk to papers to clear any thing like messmore.
"Ewbank's ego done in Fox and Hughes and sapped away any remaining legitimacy and credibility of the current republican leadership."
What legitimacy and credibility?
Not one person associated with that group even pretends anymore that they exist for any other reason than to grease the skids for developers and their many ticks, fleas and lice-like hangers on.
Wow! What a response. Not one single yes or no. That's how screwed up you people are.
Messmore resorted to "talking" with the papers for reasons of pure damage control CYA.
Viesta would still be lobbying and shilling for a chosen few county movers and shakers, at the expense of the rest of us, if Messmore had his way.
Wow! What a response. Not one single yes or no. That's how screwed up you people are.
Maxwell says yes.
So Ewbank says yes.
So Fox says yes.
So Hughes says yes.
So Fehrman says yes.
So Morris says yes.
So Barrett says yes.
Now, convince those who are not your sycophants.
"Wow! What a response. Not one single yes or no. That's how screwed up you people are."
Do you think people should be forced onto sewers or pay availabilty fees to subsidize you and your crooked friends?
Wow!
Can't wait for your response!
I have no need to force others to get loans to support my business and I am "screwed up?" Oh what a little entitled turd you must be.
Those of us who do not live by I-74 and State Rt 1 cannot give you a yes or no answer.
Our ethics do not resemble in the least bit of your fellow dcedi members.
We respect our neighbors and their freewill choices.
I know, freewill for all sucks for you and yours.
Only you self-important pukes should be the decision makers.
Right?
Pastures, fields and woodlots just screams out for asphalt and cement to our development friends.
They only see the dollars they could make to better impress their fragile friends at their corny country clubs and silly social circles.
"That's how screwed up you people are."
Maybe you should remind the voters in this County how "screwed up" they are before and after they vote you misunderstood pillars of integrity out of office this year?
Same old crap...you people cannot say yes or no to a valid question.
I pose the question neither as developer or person upset with government and find that you all act just like the very people you despise.
Give me a yes or no.
Was it smart growth people of hyper-development people trying to connect up more homes to HVL's already failing sewer system?
Which group of people viewed HVL residents as an unending financial resource to be tapped for a few development crooks?
"Give me a yes or no."
I guess you will have to wait for some folks up in that part of the county to weigh in.
However, now that you are here:
Do you think people should be forced onto sewers or pay availabilty fees to subsidize you and your crooked friends?
Charges of same old crap from a premier crap peddler. How ironic.
I live on a rural county road, I would not want some person up on state 1 telling me what to do, as I will not tell them what to do.
How about you let those folks on 1 decide?
Or does that not fit with your me...me...me nature?
"Give me a yes or no."
What good is owning a few politicians and county attorneys if you cannot assert your inner bully.
Must suck to be more impressed with yourself than those you seek to bully.
Do you think people should be forced onto sewers or pay availabilty fees to subsidize you and your crooked friends?
We want a yes or no!
Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander!
Or will you have Ewbank attack our motives for even asking such a question?
"Same old crap..."
Not after this year's elections...
Dearborn County is no longer a backwater burg, where a few powerful and marginally "smart fellas" can exert their will on the local populace. Too bad the few powerful and marginally "smart fellas" are a bit behind on the learning curve.
"If I want to put an industrial development near S.R. #1 and I-74.
Is everybody good with that?"
You want a yes or no to this question?
Then it would have to be no- because EVERYBODY can't answer for the people in that community.We'd have to hear what they want first. That's only fair.
If you look at the master plan map you would see - oh wait- you can't use that yet- it's still TABLED!
HMMMM
However, now that you are here:
Where did you go?
"If you look at the master plan map you would see - oh wait- you can't use that yet- it's still TABLED!
HMMMM"
There is no "master" plan unless the self-appointed, self-anointed "masters" approve it.
The DCEDI are "master-planning" as we speak.
Let us hope they do not as a group go blind or have unnatural and unseemly hairs growing from their palms as a result.
Is it true that the dcedi do all their "master-planning" in a circle?
We'd have to hear what they want first. That's only fair.
You have not met our local "development over everything and anybody else" faction as of yet, have you?
"Where did you go?"
HOW DARE YOU QUESTION THE GREAT DEVELOPER OZ!!!!!!!!!!!
PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE LITTLE, PATHETIC TWERP COWERING BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it true that the dcedi do all their "master-planning" in a circle?
Only while in a circle can many DCEDI members springboard or jerk ideas off their fellow DCEDI members.
The old guard at the vruc permitted, if not fostered, their sewer service to be one of the major polluters into our waterways.
And who thought it would be a grand idea to partner up with them?
Our dcrsd board.
Speaks volumes where the dcrsd board's priorities are, does it not?
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Or do you only demand answers to your questions?
Feel full of yourself, much?
Development forces did not have the courage of their corrupt based convictions in having still a majority in local government, they still felt compelled to go kamikaze and exact a scorched earth attack on those who would not bend to their demands.
"Development forces did not have the courage of their corrupt based convictions..."
And the consensus of those who support smart growth are ever so thankful for such Development forces' corrupt hard-headedness!
I saw one no. Again, most of you cannot seem to get over going into your tyrate about everything else but the industrial park question.
The question had nothing to do with Maxwell, county officials, corruption or anything else. Somehow the question has something to everything else but the question.
For the person that answered no because of the land use map was being adopted, thanks.
So, do you think people should be forced onto sewers or pay availabilty fees to subsidize you and your crooked friends?
I still see no answer.
Yes or no?
Development types will never learn to play with others.
It is either yes you agree with what they want or no and thus you are anti-everything or a do-nothing.
Compromises like the comp. plan are turned down out of hand.
Developments' yes and no choices.
Should John Zeiden be able to force his neighbors onto sewers to subsidize his business? Yes!
Should Thom Hammond have a choice not to hook on to sewers. NO!
Should John Maxwell be forced to hook up to St. Leon's sewers?
WELL...WELL...WELL...
Argumentative
Slander
Politicking
Ad Hominem
"So, do you think people should be forced onto sewers or pay availabilty fees to subsidize you and your crooked friends?
I still see no answer."
That's easy- as the question is leading the witness, so to speak. The answer would have to be NO. Even Fox and Hughes SAY NO. Problem is no one seems to be able to do anything but TALK about how they hate the sewer situation.
Ask yourself a few questions:
1. Why do our local state reps take a hands off approach to this question?
2. Why is the only answer to county sewers, this cheap (for the sewer company) grinder system?
3. Why do two/three commissioners say they are against it and then vote to give letters of support to the perpetrators of the problem? (St. Leon)
4. Has anyone tied the master plan to solutions for these problems?
5. Why should residents pay for sewers they don't use and don't want?
Let's start with answers or thoughts on these questions...- not just more name calling for the powers in office- as frustratingly inept as they are at planning- we might try giving them answers and seeing if they use some of it. The name calling is producing a lot of heat and not much light.
IMHO (in my humble opinion)
We all know the answers to all your questions.
But the only answer is to remove developments' yes men and women from office and replace them with people willing to work in the best interests of everyone and not just for the politically connected few.
Should someone be forced to hookup onto a sewer? NO! You should not.
Again, what does that have to do with the industrial park question?
You asked for a yes or no answer to "do the people of northern Dearborn County want industry". I have lived here for 54 years with my family, friends and neighbors. Our children are now starting their families here and the answer from all of us is NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO . The reason we fight so hard to keep our community rural character is that is why we live here. We live here for a life time. Only a few greedy land owners team up with the greedy developers and try to take away what is good ands .
So much proposed development, residental and commercial, seems to be premised on forcing local folks living around such proposed development subsidizing the sewers needed for such development.
And since you are against forced hookups, I take it you will not be voting for Hughes, Fox, Fehrman and Barrett?
I have lived here for 54 years with my family, friends and neighbors.
According to our development friends you hung around for 54 years just a hoping and a praying you would be saved from all those trees and fields with the influx of major amounts of asphalt, concrete and glass.
Our development friends are so sure of that, they figured that you would not mind if they schemed behind your back to begin to turn your rural neighborhood into a commercial zone.
If only we had this blog when Interstate 74 was built? Then you would be fighting the construction of that highway because the flux asphalt. Oh by the way, why don't you just stay off using the highway, since you do not like it. I wish everybody could have what you have, but we don't. But for some dam reason people are not allowing any potential of new jobs or anything. There is a bigger calling in this county then forced sewer hookups. I do agree it is so important to electing public officials that know what the hell they doing.
We need officials that promote the county, not demote it. We also need public officials that will run the county like a business and will not be influenced by a developer or someone that is against(Anti-developer)development.
Tell me who that person and I vote for them.
As they say in Steamboat Springs Colorado.
"We like our community as it IS. If you moved here because you LIKE our community, let it evolve, DON'T try to change it to the place you left behind".
"Give me a yes or no."
I live 6 miles from SR1 & I74. A development in the TIF with the cost carried by the developer and not the ajoining area, a bussiness
that generates good jobs, not a warehouse, fast food, strip mall........ Yea I can live with that. Get busy, and don't forget to keep it above board.
We need officials that promote the county, not demote it.
Imagine how far just a handful of crooked developers, politicians and their enablers have set back development in this county with their condescending and bullying ways.
"Get busy, and don't forget to keep it above board."
They would keep it above board, but it just does not jive with their need to have complete control of this county.
What we need is a couple of new Walmart stores in this area. That should create enough jobs for all the job seekers with the "Get new jobs" agenda.
How about a warehouse like the ones in Hebron KY that employee 500 people?
There is a bigger calling in this county then forced sewer hookups.
Well then, take forced hook-ups and availability fees off the table by defunding the two crooked sewer concerns, the dcrsd and St. Leon.
Until then, talk is cheap.
"How about a warehouse like the ones in Hebron KY that employee 50 people?"
Well, your "calling" should be to convince the folks up in the NW Quad to approve it.
The Vieste and DCEDI closed door, insider information and bullying did not work.
"How about a warehouse like the ones in Hebron KY that employee 50 people?"
You mean the tax free warehouses that employ 5 people, use very little in the way of utilities and make the viewscape UGGLY like A "big city"!
"How about a warehouse like the ones in Hebron KY that employee 500 people?"
That's called a distribution center, true warehouses only employ
a few people. The Hebron area is poplar because of the airport, not just highway access.
What's so great about a warehouse? I don't care if it employs 50,000 people. Is that the job you want for your college educated kids?
Investing that much money and time in an education should pay off better than that.
