Lincoln Community Meeting Comments from January 9, 2012

Wanted to encourage the residents of Lincoln to drop out of this activity and
appreciate that you have not accepted the funding.
Where are these funds coming from if our country, state, county and cities are
broke?
Seem to think that funds from the federal government is free. Funds from
stimulus projects and grants will deplete any savings or inflation that we have
worked for. Need ability to opt out of this free money.
Concerned that the plan is a recipe to take over society. Doesn't believe the plan
is about protect the environment but about taking control of people.
Believes global warming is a joke and a lie. Research since 1990 has failed to
substantiate any direct man made cause for global warming. A consensus is
nothing more than an absence of recorded disagreement.
Believes that local representative government is almost obsolete. When
government wants the public involved, it is to give the appearance of public
participation and to marginalize any opposition to its plans. These are called
visioning meetings with unreasonable alternatives as choices.
It is audacious of planners to determine that they are better than the rest of us
to make decisions better than the rest of us. In Lincoln, stand up for your rights
and the constitution which makes laws for the common good.
Concerned that traveling by transit will be the only travel option.
Concerned local governments are using federal monies which come with strings
attached for stack and pack housing which may not be of all of our choosing.
The comments here are summaries of the oral testimonies provided at this public meeting.
