Nelson Peters - Then & Now
Posted by Jeff Pruitt - 3/31/08 @ 10:57 pm - Filed Under Featured, Local Politics
I am never amazed at the hypocrisy of various politicos but I feel it necessary to point it out nonetheless. I think I’ve demonstrated that Commissioner Nelson Peters (and others) are trying to circumvent the referendum requirement recently signed into law by fast-tracking the $55 Million Maplecrest extension project before the law goes into effect.
What I find particularly interesting about Peters’ stance is that less than one year ago he called a major press conference to announce that he was requesting the state legislature pass a law that would allow a referendum on Harrison Square. So one must ask - what is so different about this project that Peters would feel it necessary to sidestep the referendum process? I guess he was for referendums before he was against them…
