The City of Olympia Council passed the amendment to deregulate zoning on the isthmus area of downtown so as to allow for a proposed super-structure luxury condominium development. The vote was 5-2. Council Member Strub changed her vote, leaving only Members Hyer and Messmer to vote in opposition.

I am saddened. Despite my voluminous and multitudinous communications, I don't know if Council Members listened to my concerns: One of which is that this project represents an economic injustice. No one on the Council has adequately responded to this concern about economic injustice, despite repeated, and clearly uttered, statements of the fact. Do you think that by ignoring it that it will just go away?

Do you have concerns that haven't been acknowledged or addressed by the Council? Do you feel represented?

Do views of the Capitol Campus belong to the public? Is it appropriate for views of the Capitol Campus of State Government to be privatized? Can a denial of the proposed rezone be understood as acting in the public interest? - I think you know where I stand. - bert
