EEZs are generally organized for the wealthy and implemented by their puppets, and for the city or county to help fund them is fully ridiculous.

I don't approve of this, nor should anyone else. Wealth is not created by a city council disregarding property rights in favor of big business.

Columbia's low unemployment belies the need for any such foolishness. If you think it's a great idea, put it to a city-wide VOTE.

I think if council votes in favor of the EEZ it will be a threat to personal property rights and likely not serve our community in the manner promised. I honestly don't trust REDI. And am quickly losing faith in council.

]]> Sun, 20 May 2012 09:16:43 UTC 12872881 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/12872868?utm_medium=rss We need much more broad putlic input on economic development strategies -- beyond the self-interest of a handfull of developers -- before launching on programs that can do permanent damage to the reputation of Our Fair City.
Bad plans by city councils have been vetoed before, by determined citizen action. We should be prepared once more to speak for The Public Interest, through vigorous citizen participation, protest, and if necessary electoral strategies.

The residents are speaking and we are saying no. Now, as our city council, it is your job to give us a voice...the little person like me that owns a home and has spent plenty of money improving that home. I would like to see the city begin to do actual improvements that last in our neighborhoods. Not patch jobs...not patch talk. Our street run off situation is one of many places I suggest you begin. We are a valued part of CO... act now.
