SHAMEFUL!

It is just shameful that the Warren County Board of Supervisors approved the rezoning, for a Sheetz gas station at the foot of Apple Mountain. I still have trouble believing that they allowed this to happen. They were voted in to represent US! They DIDN’T! They sided with Dudding Commercial Development. Even after the people of the community, spent hours, at several meetings, expressing their concerns, as to the negative impact that it would have on the community. All this, in the hopes they would hear us.

They DIDN’T!

I think the most shameful part of this decision, is that they tried to justify it, under the guise of needing a school bus stop. They expect us to believe that they voted down the rezoning in the first meeting for a gas station, yet, in the third meeting, they want us to believe they voted to rezone the same parcel of land for a school bus stop – As if we won’t notice the gas station next to it.

SHAMEFUL! The people of Warren County have lost all respect for the Board. They broke their promise to represent us and showed us they have no respect for their constituents. Again SHAMEFUL!
