Megalomania Has Infected Vienna

"Mrs. Jane, We Are with You!"

From the Sun Gazette comes the mother of all quotes from Jane Seeman:

"Mayor M. Jane Seeman said the applicants had bought the property three years ago knowing full well it was in the historic district. "When someone buys something with their eyes wide open as to the restrictions, then I'm not in favor of letting the boundary change."

Simple question: Mrs. Seeman what are the restrictions exactly? Will Seeman say something so patently stupid with her right hand raised under deposition? In Seeman's distorted world-view private citizens are apparently prevented from buying private property if a Town Council creates a historic district with no specific rules. If Seeman knows there are no written restrictions, then what are we to make of her? If she is willing to say such a statement in public should we not expect it to be true? It's not true. And via the magic of video we can show you Jane Seeman contradicting Jane Seeman:

Taking all of the above into account, consider this piece of wisdom about the District from here:

"It [historic district] was pushed as far and as hard as it could through the Town channels, things were not resolved so along came the lawsuit, now you have to bite the bullet and wait for that outcome. If I was being sued [lie the Town] I certainly would not discuss it, I can't fault the Council for that. Again your Historic District Lawsuits page, detailing the issues is not easily found."

The idea that citizens should sit back and allow a Town Council to abdicate their legislative responsibilities, by letting the courts do their job for them, is perverse. Who thinks like this? For those of you who want to use the historic district as a wedge to keep power, this post in total doesn't matter. For those seeking to understand why a lawsuit has been filed, this page and links may help.
