ESTÚPIDO SAVANNAH - Monday, November 09, 2009 1:35:59 PM
UPDATE:
This past Thursday’s City Council meeting is up on the web for all to see now.
The file claims it was created on Friday – but was not posted until this morning.
Skip ahead to a about 1:24:00 to see Alderman Clifton Jones peel back the curtain on what’s been going on over at the Metropolitan Planning Commission.
“In meeting with the neighbors I found that the MPC was responsible for encouraging Enmark to move into this area and intrude in that block. In my opinion I find that awful unusual. I did not know they made that type of recommendations but in this particular instance they made a recommendation. The MPC did - the staff I imagine because that is the way it is in this report.”
“…they told me there was a sign posted on the property - “Ben Farmer Realty”. So I checked it out and then we’re talking about a grand conflict of interest because I think Mr. Farmer had something to do with the very motion that got this where it is today.
I found that through his company there was an agent by the name of Carl Francis that actually sold this property to Enmark.
If I am wrong I got the wrong information but if I’m right then this is the information that I’ve been given. Mr. Mayor I’m saying all this because I don’t want to see this property affect a whole lot of other properties in the City of Savannah. If Enmark is able to further encroach into this area then what about the rest of Savannah?”
So the only thing Alderman Jones said that is in dispute is the part about a specific agent from Ben Farmer Realty that “sold this property to Enmark”
Mr. Farmer says that never happened. Okay – but what about the rest of it?
