The Union County Planning Board has a problem, Mark DiBiasio. In a profoundly anti-business post in his blog VSO, he said that Democrat business owners were the enemy. He said that if you do business with them then you are giving your money to the enemy.
I have no problem with this being written on a blog except that Mark has sway over businesses of this county as a member of that planning board. I generally support the efforts of Mark in his blog endeavors and his other work in local government. This is not about all his other work or his writing.
Mark is a local liberal, supporting things like control of growth and business, and our storied attempt to institute government control over all phases of our lives through Hughie Sexton's adequate facilities ordinance. He has no problem with demonizing local businesses that do not conform to his standards.
But in politics beyond Union County, Mark is about as right wing as one can get. His posts are straight out of John Birch Society thought.
But, Mark has displayed his antagonism for business, and he needs to go, off the Planning Board. It would strike fear in my heart to have to present a petition to that board as a Democrat business person. How would I know that I was getting a fair hearing?
