When I lived in OR, I got a chance to listen to one of the GOP leaders there in a closed meeting.
He said:
“One of the secrets to politics is the most powerful people out there is the City Planners.”
“They decide where the $$$ goes, who gets the payoffs and who gets punished for not towing the line”
Leftist push their scams ( for the children, etc. )..
Coloradans resoundingly voted “no” last November on a proposed 2,500-foot setback of any new oil and gas drilling ... Proposition 112 would have wiped a critical industry off the Colorado map, eradicating an estimated 147,800 jobs .
Undeterred by that pesky “will of the people,” leftist majorities in the state legislature introduced and rammed SB19-181 through in little more than a month.

This is so true! It’s easy to see what the latest “idea” is b/c every city/ town planner is pushing the same agenda. A big one here in Colorado is “affordable housing”. They are trying to ram this down our throats all over the state.
