Developers win again
(Warning: local content.) There are few things more deeply discouraging about local politics than the way government acts like the obsequious waiter to development interests -- we have a very nice wetland we're serving today, how would you like it?
Last Thursday the County Council reversed its earlier vote and agreed to approve a road in West Volusia guaranteed to encourage sprawl and destruction of natural lands. This comes right after earlier votes that will destroy The Ormond Loop.
I've noticed more people driving and riding The Loop lately. Guess they want to see see it while it's still here. Here's a picture I took a few weeks ago. I know what you're thinking -- Why isn't this a golf course, Seven-11 and condo complex yet?

It is a disgrace to lose this beautiful place. I have painted there many times.
