David Miller Deserves Applause on This One Comments (4)
We wrote recently about the Planning Commission meeting to consider changing the Town Code to essentially give Steve Bukont a big gift. At the second meeting they voted against recommending that the Council change the code. Nice job. David Miller deserves a round of applause for changing directions. We do note that Laurie DiRocco was not there for this vote.

David Miller: Not An Honest Politician Comments (0)
Not unlike his fellow Planning Commission Member George Creed, Planning Commission Member David Miller (209 East Street, SE) seems to have no problem making up the law as he goes.
David Miller: Honest?
David Miller sits on both the Planning Commission and the Windover Heights Board of Review. Last night he voted against letting a property out of the Historic District, but not but a few months ago, at his very first Windover Heights Board of Review meeting, he said this:
Miller on the video states:
"I am of the opinion that the changes the homeowners proposed would go to make the house look more 'period' than it currently is so I stand in favor of it."
Period to what? Is Miller proposing that we make up Disneyland-like fake "historic" homes? Of course, Miller knows there is no reference to a 'period' in the Windover Heights Historic District. Miller is simply making up law on the fly to show his "power". He then arrogantly refuses to answer questions when backed into a corner. Worse yet, Miller is completely cognizant of the words of the former Town Attorney:
"The age of the structure has no bearing on whether or not it should be included in the district. Your attention is invited to Section 18-280.2 of the Town's zoning ordinance concerning the boundaries of the Windover Heights Historic district. You will note that it is a historic district created by boundary and makes no reference to the age or character of the structures within the boundary. I have always maintained that if Abraham Lincoln had been assassinated at the local Giant, that structure would be historic. One the other hand, the mayor's antique chicken house is very old, but in my mind has no historic value."
David Miller is a dishonest politician.
