BULLSEYE

“Nothing ever lasts forever… Everybody wants to rule the world.”

This is the final part of a five part series examining what has transpired publically over the past few months and recent weeks as it relates to the Franklin-Oak Creek joint development project along the so-called South 27th Street Corridor, known “affectionately” by many residents of both communities, and local bloggers, as the “Boomgaard Fiasco.”

For me, the “Boomgaard Fiasco” clearly illustrated just how out of touch both communities’ Common Councils were and still may be, with “The People.”

As I researched and read the material I’ve included in the five posts in this essay, a pattern seemed to develop and appeared to me as though there was a coordinated, talking points campaign between the “main players,” when it came to Ted Grintjes’ “legacy,” his “resignation,” the candidate to replace him, the job requirements, and time elements for both the job and the project.

Was this simple coincidence or a co-coordinated effort to replace Ted Grintjes with the “right” candidate? As I have said since part I, you’ll have to decide for yourself.

In the meantime take off your pointed, tin foil caps, stop hiding from the “black helicopters” hovering in your nationhood, and remember; Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.

And for the record, I DO NOT believe in anything on this list…

Please take the time to read Janet Evans’ August 13,2008 post entitled “Franklin Economic Development Commission Meeting 8/13/08,”including the comments section, before reading any further.

Coincidences or coordinated effort?

Ted Grintjes

The following praise for former 27SSC co-chair, Ted Grintjes, may very well be deserved, and what the individuals making these comments truly believe, but as one individual said “I don’t know him that well, but I know of him.”

The same holds true for me. I was introduced to Grintjes by Alderman Steve Olson, and that’s the extent of my personal contact him.

… Franklin owes a lot of gratitude to him…

… this man is a volunteer…

… giving countless hours of his time and expertise…

… Franklin would be hard-pressed to find a replacement…

…his institutional knowledge…

… volunteer time for that matter…
