read the script

Is the Optimist guy going to run on a platform of ANY issues? Or is he just going to go with the issues and dialog that Billy and Garcia give him? IE We somehow, NEED this expensive gym so that the contractors can buy a new car! Price is NO object! Its immaterial! IRRELEVANT! We will pay whatever the contractor wants - 300%, 400% or more in profits, no problem! DOZENS of change orders almost guaranteed because we have NO CLUE about planning ahead of time! We couldn't even figure out that bathrooms might need water, sewer, and electric hookups! The forgotten possibilities and change orders on the new gym are ENDLESS! Parking and height problems? NO PROBLEM, as we will just give our self variances that wouldn't even be seriously considered for the average residents! Its not a problem (for us) because when our funds get low, we will just raise the residents taxes and fees! NO real PROBLEM! The residents MIGHT get cranky when we hose them repeatedly, but they are manageable if we just continue to dazzle them with BS! Simple. All Mr Lob has to do is recite the script!

zoning rules clarified

Any of you residents wanting to upgrade, update, or enhance your properties and need a 10% variance are out of luck. We will righteously claim that it changes the character of the neighborhood, affects property values, etc etc. However, when WE, the city, want a 26% zoning variance, NO PROBLEM, because WE are the ultimate authority on zoning matters and WE CAN. Sure, it like having the fox guard the hen house, but HEY! Sure, we have a vested interest in giving the variance because we WANT it badly to pass. We can even claim that the community will be harmed if it isnt passed in the humongous form we want. A slightly smaller one would deprive... uh... well....perhaps.... maybe a few kids... well, anyway, just remember- the zoning rules apply ONLY to the residents. The City can get variances for ANYTHING we want to build! Adequate parking and height requirements are NOT A PROBLEM (for us)- just you guys.
