This is crap. Wonder why the Columbian didn't title the article: GOVERNMENT WELFARE GIVEAWAY FOR ANGELO FAMILY (Can we count the families that have been fattening their coffers on the backs of the working class in this county for a very long time? Wouldn't need more than one hand...) Charlie,

GOVERNMENT WELFARE GIVEAWAY FOR ANGELO FAMILY

(Can we count the families that have been fattening their coffers on the backs of the working class in this county for a very long time? Wouldn’t need more than one hand…)

"We have a developer stepping up to build a very significant project," said Councilman Larry Smith, despite nearby property owners' concerns about closing a one-block section of D Street. The two-block project is being developed by The Al Angelo Co.</blockquote> The city council just goes along with whatever the developers ask for. If anything, in that article, the concerns of the neighborhood are given short shrift, but the concerns of "parcel owners" are given maximum say.
