Generally, each expressed support for the CPA and the potential role it could have in helping preserve the historic resources of the community. The Commission, nonetheless, would like an understanding that a significant portion of any CPA funds above and beyond the obligatory 10% would be devoted to the goal of historic preservation within the community. The person who was "dead set against it" and who spoke strongly in opposition to the CPA was in fact not a Commissioner but an audience member in attendance at the meeting which is open to the public. The Commission will next consider the Act at its next meeting in January so that all members may more fully consider the proposal.

Unfortunately I must plead work insanity. (got 4 books shipping to press in either December or January and it's nuts because our comp department lunched itself mid-November). I will canvass my neighborhood and see who I can get to sign. You're right, the state's already saying we all will need to do more with less, so we'd better stop thinking about this and start working toward securing this funding in earnest. What was the objection by the member of the Historical Commission? Hi Mark!
