Forget “2030 Plan,” the only real county land use plan is the “Clout Plan.”

2 comments April 10th, 2009

In the wake of the Winnebago County Board’s 15-8 vote to approve the controversial Cannell subdivision in an environmentally sensitive area of northern Winnebago County, I have a suggestion:

You’ve been going through the motions of passing a “2030 Plan” for land use in the county. Just forget about it. Nobody will believe you’re serious, anyway.

The only land use plan that we’ve ever had in Winnebago County is the “Clout Plan,” because whenever a clout-heavy developer wants to do something, he seems to get his way.

Your 2030 plan is a sham.
