Bills to cancel fees for developers during recession? Take action!

[uu_mom]

There was a hearing on last Wednesday, March 18, 2009 on legislation with the PZED Committee and with no doubt would have passed through without opposition. It has been tabled until Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 1:30 pm. So if you believe that we should be getting fees from developers/development per the current law to help boost the county income, write to or call your legislator TODAY!

Community activists who attended Wed.'s hearing felt that this was another example of developers appealing to council people via campaign contributions and not for the good of the people.

The bills are both county and state. CB-07/08/CB-09-2009 in the county and HB Bill 921 EMERGENCY BILL Crossfiled with: SENATE BILL 958 in the state.
