Huachuca than Congresswoman Giffords. By stopping the water use of that farm, the largest single agricultural user of the San Pedro, it is a step forward for the Fort. By contrast, CD8 Representative Giffords has shipped out 200 soldiers to other bases. His action, at the intent of it, was to help the base and the San Pedro.<BR/><BR/>What about Petrified Forest Group, who knowingly overpaid for the parcel for a quid pro quo? Apparently the $4M was worth it for the land they were going to get since they parted with the money. <BR/><BR/>The fact remains that it's a good thing to shut that farm down from the perspective of the Fort and Cochise County and the river. The piece of land did matter.<BR/><BR/>What about the ArtFair deal Councilwoman Trasoff tried to slide by the City Council. Where was the economic payoff for anyone other than ArtFair in that?<BR/><BR/>Will be interested in hearing ALL the facts on the Renzi deal, so far we've only heard one side. Obviously the disclosure of the $200K payment to Renzi is the crux of the ethical argument. That piece of land was important to the base.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28821987.post-61472508530270818302007-04-24T11:25:00.000-07:002007-04-24T11:25:00.000-07:00It's about time a Republican had the guts to openl...It's about time a Republican had the guts to openly discuss this. This is the main reason Republicans were destroyed in the last election, but the leadership in D.C. still kid themselves into believing it was something else. They can't keep pointing like little children to corrupt Democrats thinking that will somehow mitigate their own problemss. Voters are tired of the childishness and utter contempt shown for the electorate and communicated that at the polls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
