Our runway is being bulldozed!

Pretty easy. This week I read where a developer in kalifornia may be
stopped
because a anti-growth plant "expert" "found" a rare plant on the property.
There's no prior history of the plant being in the area. The nimby locals
have been fighting the development of the land.

I was deposed in a similar situation. The plaintif's lawyer asked me
describe a gopher tortoise. He asked if I had ever seen gopher tortoises on
the airport property. I've seen them there since I was a kid. The lawyer
asked if I had seen 52 of them on the airport property. That's when the
purpose of the deposition hit me and I had to try like h**l to keep a
straight face. Bottom line is that there is still only one FBO, lots of open
space, and a gopher tortoise crossing sign at the airport.

Before I finished reading the sentence, my mind filled in the rest of

users followed the example of Arthur Dent and lay on the ground in the
way of the bulldozers"

"You Barbarians! I'll sue the council for every penny it's
got! I'll have you hung, drawn, and quartered! And whipped!
And boiled...until...until...until you've had enough.

"And then I will do it again! And when I've finished I
will take all the little bits, and I will jump on them!

"And I will caryy on jumping on them, until I get blisters,
or I can think of anything even more unpleasant to do,
and then...

"What the hell's that!"


Last call, then.

No, I'm trapped between taking punitive action that will do the airport
no good, and doing nothing.

Sounds like that's the way politics is played, and you've just been
out-played. Somebody knew something.

Absolutely. If I had the time, I'd follow the money.

The last thing we need is for the local newspaper -- the same paper
that was clamoring for the airport to "pay for itself or close" -- to
pick up on this story.

If you write the story, you control its content.

That's what they count on. People have lives to live, organizations can
wait you out.

That's never happened to me.
