In case anyone is under the impression that the battle for
Columbia’s future has
been won, think again. The forces that attempted to defeat the new plans for Symphony
Woods are trying to organize a slate of candidates for the upcoming Columbia
Council elections. In a posting on the
HCCA listserv today,
Alex Hekimian, the
Columbia Council representative for the
Village of Oakland Mills,
hopes to garner enough
allies on the council to reverse the decision to move
forward on the
Inner Arbor plan.
“Russ Swatek is
trying to find Columbia Council candidates in other villages as well.
There is an opportunity that with Columbia Council contests in several villages
and a new CA Board, the battle for Phase 1 of Symphony Woods can be won.
Otherwise, the chances are dim.”
Alex, along with
Cindy Coyle from the
Village
of Harpers Choice, cast
the only votes against the plan.
If there was ever
a time to pay attention to your Columbia Council elections, this is it.
