Normal peeps have known for years it was stupid to chase rubber stamps for two and a half months before committing a victimless crime among consenting adults – like moving a parking space. Now, after a generation or so, some normal peeps have crept into Maggie Valley’s Board of Aldermen, and they’re clamoring for deregulation. Here’s a sample of what they’re saying about backing off:
“I would get a little frustrated. We would have to have these special called meetings,” said Maggie Valley Alderman Mike Matthews. “There is no reason for us to deal with it.”
“We had to have meeting to figure out if they could put a hotel where another hotel was,” Matthews said.
People have to “go through three different hearings with three different boards before they can get anything done,” said Mike Seifert, a Maggie planning board member and owner of the Alamo Motel. “Time is of the essence. They can’t sit around for two and half months.”
