The citizens of the City of Ruston should
request a Vote and it should be like any/all
voting "ANONYMOUS'.
Will the Mayor or Ruston be there?
My understanding is the he and the council will testify.
I agree with the first comment. The council should start a safe discussions with its citizens by taking an anonymous survey. Many citizens are aware of the bullying behavior this town's officials use towards anyone who speaks out. The council meetings are specifically designed to discourage public input. The council members do not know the citizens and do not talk to them. The council, the mayor, and the chairman of the "planning commission" are all direct neighbors living on one or two blocks overlooking - you guessed it - Point Ruston. A large number of Ruston residents are renters without a stake, a few are long time residents with a grudge, and the rest of us are hostages who would love to be a part of Tacoma.
Perhaps the developer could submit plans, get them approved, and then pay for the permits. Someone should know what, and how it's being built.
Just a thought. Even third world countries have some sort of system to follow.
Ruston is roughly ¼ square mile. Tacoma is 50 square miles. Many areas are similar to Ruston. It is very easy to become part of Tacoma...vote with your feet.
