The county commissioners appointed a board to examine the merits of planning and zoning in the rural portion of the county. This board is chaired by a "planning true believer" who just recently moved into the county from a megalopolis. She holds views that would be comfy in Berekely. She is Rural America's worst nightmare: "a City Slicker who wants those damn commie land use controls."
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can gently explain that despite her good motives she is not the one to lead this battle? I have to explain to her that this change must come from the leadership of a long-time resident with credibility in the community.
She seems bright and capable, just too zealous for the local political climate.
Has anyone else seen an obvious outsider have success in a relatively stagnant rural community?
