"Do trash receptacles and sidewalks have an ideology? How about zoning
overlays, watershed development, and tree pruning? These are the kinds of
issues that animate local planning boards, those temples of wonkery and
reheated coffee that produce acronym-laden reports on parochial community
concerns. But to an increasingly vocal group of activists, your local
planning board is in fact a cell of hidden conspiracies to undermine US
freedom and sovereignty and create a system of one-world government."

I have no idea what *your* point is, as usual, other than to post a
daily - OT but not marked so - reminder that you have way too much time
on your hands. But I'm thinking there's a strong possibility that you
missed the author's point. Did you even read the article? It was short
enough that you could have made it all the way to the end if you'd put
your mind to it.

My "point" is reporting on pertinent items. The item involves recycling,
local planning boards, pruning, zoning, and other matters often discussed
here.

I did read the article.

If you have any other questions, I'd be glad to answer them.
