“That don’t impress me much”

Posted in: PATA
Although these additional lyrics won?’t do the artist justice the message is the same;

Pickerington

- TIFing nearly 1.5 million dollars (Dovel Construction frontage road of Rt. #204 & then Hill Road Connector ?– which connects to nothing - North of the Railroad tracks to Meadows Apartments) of road construction, largely for the benefit of a few and the loss of dollars to the Pickerington School District ?– THAT DON?’T IMPRESS ME MUCH.

- Striking deals with Dominion, Homewood, Viola Parks Ltd., and others for higher density residential construction ?– while babbling in the papers about ?“balanced?” growth ?– THAT DON?’T IMPRESS ME MUCH.

- Crowing about your need toward commercially viable land in another school districts boundaries, while rezoning already commercially developable land within the Pickerington School District to residential uses ?– THAT DON?’T IMPRESS ME MUCH.

- Using your ?“legal expert?” for such lackluster ?“performances?” as merger discussions ?– though being unable to site any successful merger examples (October Growth Summit Meeting) ?– THAT DON?’T IMPRESS ME MUCH.

- Then quotes in the press from the same gentleman, ?“now he?’s a CEDA specialist?” with answers about who can be involved ?– their roles- stating ?“It?’s very loosey-goosey?” (published early April), - THAT DON?’T IMPRESS ME MUCH.

- Now using this same individual ?– ?“now he?’s and auditor/accountant specialist?” ?– ?“Economic Development money?’s will go to Franklin County.?” Isn?’t this same attorney really an ANNEXATION SPECIALIST, with an office in Franklin County? Didn?’t nearly $45,000 of City of Pickerington resident?’s tax dollars go to this ?“specialist?” from the beginning of 2000 to all his annexation efforts before August of the same year? Didn?’t this same ?“specialist?” get up to $125,000.00 of additional City of Pickerington resident?’s dollars to fight against annexation reform in December of 2000? So per his own actions ?“some tax money IS INDEED be funneled to Franklin County. ?– THAT DON?’T IMPRESS ME AT ALL!


It?’s time for the rhetoric of this song to stop. I?’ll quite butchering this song ?– and trust you?’ll quit the actions that require these additional versus.
