Letter: Cherry-picking through laws

Commissioners: You have heard the story of a group of blind men describing an elephant after each touches one part of the animal. The man who touches the tail says an elephant is like a rope. The one who touches the leg says an elephant is a pillar. The man touching the side says it's like a wall.

The sequel to that story is playing out in Clatsop County with the promoters of Bradwood Landing using teams of lawyers to cherry-pick through laws, plans, policies and regulations, preparing an application designed to keep us all in the dark.
