ALLEGHANY CO. SCREWS UP, GETS SCREWED BY MAYMEAD

This has been unfolding for some time. Most telling is this quote from Alleghany Co. Commissioner Milly Richardson:

"We had a land-use-guidance ordinance completed in 1995, and the commissioners chose not to adopt it [at that time]. I was a part of that group that helped to prepare it .... Had they passed what we prepared in 1995, we would not have to deal with this today. It's just at that time the people did not want anything done."

It's the Highland way. We don't do anything until it's too late to do anything.
