Maud Robinson Sounds Off
Maud Robinson's recent words:
"We have talked about this a lot, but we have never done anything. The time has come to fish or cut bait. If we care about the historic district, if we think the ordinance is deficient let’s move ahead and do something. I would move that this matter, that a work session be held at the earliest possible date on the Windover board of review ordinance to examine it closely to see if it has any deficiencies and I would further invite members of the historic district who live up there, interested, concerned individuals to feel free to submit to the council any suggestions they have as to how to rectify any deficiencies the ordinance may have."
Interestingly, not long after Robinson said that, the Chairman of the Historic Review Board Steve Bukont said this:
"I have been advised by the Town Attorney to um…given that there is pending litigation that involves this board to wait for the resolution of that litigation so that the Town can advise us which direction they would like us to go. But they saw no need at this time to do that. They felt the ordinance was quite adequate as drafted and um we are welcome to make recommendations on our own but as far as the Town was concerned, that being the Town Attorney’s office, the ordinance stands and is quite adequate as it exists."
Why the contradiction between Robinson and Bukont?
It makes you wonder if Steve Bukont has now changed his tune to protect his multi-million dollar business...a business that depends on Maud Robinson's vote.
