Each case is obviously different, and I think opinions can start to form based on the number of un-successful appeals. At some point harassment certainly could be the issue. Not saying that it is definitely the case here, but at some point the appeals starts to seem wasteful and excessive.Buffalo Guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-3022032521750221402009-10-12T01:05:27.946-04:002009-10-12T01:05:27.946-04:00Oh, and I prefer, the term "Yes People."...Oh, and I prefer, the term "Yes People."

Do you have a facebook account? I'll send you a friends invite.<br /><br />Welcome to democracy, people. Darn! It's messy! Google "The Monkeywrench Gang." Good book.<br /><br />And, just as a general comment, Howard County has been contoled, and developed, by an ingrown elite for several decades...dare I say, centuries.... Now, so many outsiders have moved in, to fill up all of those houses that have been built on farms, that they want to have a say. It's not a conspiracy, it's just that HoCo has reached a tipping point: smart people from outside the traditional power structure (Rouse, farm owners, familial political dynasties) have arrived, and they have numbers, and they care. It's what's called a "sea change."<br /><br />So, change is in the wind. Can we do it? Yes, we can.<br /><br />Where have we heard that before?<br /><br />More later.Bob Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890534411595848772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-17143798282879594672009-10-11T15:53:47.656-04:002009-10-11T15:53:47.656-04:00Anytime someone invokes the 'everyone I know&#...Anytime someone invokes the 'everyone I know' statement in an attempt to add weight, you can bet their argument is feather lite.<br /><br />Reasons would be a better argument because we all know people who are on both sides of these issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-39232555917760925052009-10-10T17:38:27.502-04:002009-10-10T17:38:27.502-04:00Reckless abuse?

The main reason I started reading this blog was because of all the insider information on what great places were coming to Howard County. ...and EVERYONE I know (regardless of political persuasion) are in wrapt anticipation on Wegman's arrival.

I've been raised to believe that everyone is entitled to a fair hearing in a court of law, not the court of public opinion.<br /><br />Isn't it obvious that the developers' primary legal strategy is to obstruct access to the legal system by questioning "standing" (ie. WCI Tower)? When that fails, the next hue and cry is that it will overturn life as we know it.<br /><br />Hey.... if Kendall/Gray can prove that our government officials have been violating the law for the past 15 years, the offenders should be brought to justice.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-46157253298192189952009-10-09T13:11:56.472-04:002009-10-09T13:11:56.472-04:00Well, let's just get some scientific data behi...Well, let's just get some scientific data behind abuses of the legal system. We can start with the good buddy, Dave Carney who has 28 lawsuits as plaintiff and defendant on the md judiciary case search site. 28 listed for David Carney. Who among us has 28? But let's not stop there. Don Reuwer has 11 as plaintiff and 25 as defendant. Who among us can boast those numbers? But the crowning glory of lawsuit King goes to Mangione with 99 as plaintiff and 133 as defendant. Goodness! These developers are taking lawsuit abuse to new levels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-50649043382048810212009-10-09T13:04:41.456-04:002009-10-09T13:04:41.456-04:00Since you're on a rant about the "wreckle...Since you're on a rant about the "wreckless abuse of our judicial system", how do you feel about the numerous developer appeals of County land use decisions? These are perfect examples of well funded developers going to court and and wasting our county's taxpayer resources.<br /><br />Let's not forget the 2005 Comp Lite referendum petition that developers repeatedly attacked and challenged until they could find an Appeals Court judge who would side with them and declare that 8,000 people did not understand what they were signing because, even though the 75 page Bill was available for everyone to review before signing, it wasn't attached to each signature page.<br /><br />Dennis... you're entitled to be a shill for the developers. It's probably because you've grown up in the industry and they're your bread & butter.<br /><br />However, that doesn't give your soap box any more credibility than those who oppose the excesses of your clients and the officials they've bought with campaign contributions.Eric Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-49169160445613668812009-10-09T11:50:05.688-04:002009-10-09T11:50:05.688-04:00My my, aren't you the prolific poster these da...My my, aren't you the prolific poster these days.
