Leggett Land Deals - 20 acre school site is just the start

On Friday, June 10, 2011 County Executive Ike Leggett was a guest on the The Politics Hour on the Kojo Nnamdi show on WAMU.  At the very end of the interview, Kojo Nnamdi asked Leggett a question about his take over of the 20 acre Brickyard Middle School site that Leggett took from the public school inventory of land.

The question had to do with the current tenant of the land, an organic farmer. Leggett responds that "we can place organic farm in a variety of places in Montgomery County."  What does County Executive Leggett mean by "we can place?"  What other land does Leggett have up his sleeve? If there is other land what about the land needs of public schools?  What other land deals is Leggett contemplating?

Ike Leggett on Kojo Nnamdi quote:
"We need more soccer fields and we need organic farm and I think we could get both. We can place organic farm in a variety of places in Montgomery County and I think we have some options that we would like to exercise to include that. So that's the plan that we are looking at now and I think we can achieve both."

  1. "That's the plan we are looking at now." "We have options." More secrecy from the MoCo government. What plan? Who is looking at it? "We?" who is 'we?' Now? My fellow citizens and taxpayers and I have not heard one word about this 'plan.' Did you vote for Ike Leggett? Is this what you expect in a democratic government? secret plans? secrets, secrets. secret meetings. secret deals. That is what this government has devolved into under the people you voted for. Elections are next year. Think before you pull the lever.

  2. Curious, do you think your continued scolding of the voters a productive way to promote the candidates who inevitably will run for office from the PC?

  3. Inevitably? Do tell - sure you have the inside scoop on who is running. The Apple Ballot always seems to know before the candidates even file! Sometimes the Apple folks know ever before the person ever thinks about running.
