Another land rezoning proposal will be before the Savage City Council soon. It's for the same 106 acre area of land known as the Dan Patch Trail Project, but the land owner and developer are going after developing it again and submitting another proposal to the Planning Commission at their meeting Thursday, Aug. 21, 2008 at the Savage City Hall. The Woods & Wetlands Alliance has worked for the past year to be sure the City of Savage, Red Angus Development and land owner, Karl Bohn, first looked into any areas they were required to preserve. WWA questioned the status of the wetlands, a fen-like area on the property, numerous wildlife and several possible indigenous burial mounds that the developer proposes to clear cut and bull doze.

What is going on with McCain's recent statements on his position on raising taxes?

First he basically says, he won't rule anything out.. “There is nothing I would take off the table,” then, basically 'Read my lips' no new taxes... to quote him:
“I want to look you in the eye: I will not raise your taxes nor support a tax increase. I will not do it”

Wow. Where's the outrage.
