This is amazing, that this has gone on so long and it was not reported on.
I went to some of the US sites and really can’t see where the money comes from except it looks like the EPA funds Smart Growth.
This is not the time to spend taxpayer money on this.
thanks for posting
In my area, the Smart Growth meetings are held quietly by a small group of avowed socialists and Marxists. I do not think they are funded, at all, at this point. They write letters to the editor, push various projects at the town and county Board levels and once a year or so, advertise an open meeting.
This is an area slated by Agenda 21 to be “extremely limited human use.” We are essentially an area of small family farms with a huge organic dairy and many, many organic farms, all of which support the left. Evidently, they do not see that they, themselves, will be marginalized and if they do, they may figure they will be retired before it happens and they will simply sell their land to one of various NGOs that turn around and sell it to government, who then take it out of production. If they are wealthy, they donate it to a conservancy, for the tax reduction. Dennis Hastert did just that last week.
