"…planning professionals have spoken!!! Now I believe a certain councilman-elect, and certain posters to tbis board will have to make a choice: A: Admit that the people of Asbury Park, with thier council, manager and redeveloper have put forth a plan that passes muster under the scrutiny of outside planning professionals; OR B: Lump the State Planning Commission in with us Asbury Parkers you claim can't make "informed, intelligent" decisions (which would just be silly at this point, wouldn't it?)."
How about C: Recognize that in an election year the incumbents might choose to `spin' the best take on a litany of broken promises, missed opportunities deals purchased by players to whom the democrats are heavily indebted. If you truly believe this justifies Asbury's give-away; I've got a great deal for you in the Florida swamps. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "bluebishop82" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Below is the link to a very positive, upbeat and good news story > about Asbury in the AP Press today: > > http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article? > AID=/20050607/NEWS01/506070351/1004/NEWS01 > > (If you can't open it, go to APP.com and click on the Monmouth > Section). > > > Of course being a positive article, it is hidden in an interior > section, many pages in, below the fold. > > The headline is vague and doesn't tell the real story.
