The commenters who use the 'liberal' multiple times in their comment(s)  are simply spewing hatred for things they don't like rather than attempting to contribute to solutions. Neither do they grasp the very issue they're dancing around--that of a process where our government creates laws where residents participate in actions that  effect them. Rich, when is the last time you talked to those folks in the park? Or when is the last time you attended an Assembly  meeting or even versed yourself in our city codes?  This ADN forum was suppose to have been revised to allow civil and logical comments.  Yours is lacking in all ways,  including substance.
