Couple of things

- It's good that John Osborne and John Jackson have seemingly resolved their differences, but I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that this potentially sets up a disturbing precedent ... be openly insubordinate, whine enough in public and then get your job back.

- I'm not necessarily on board with this summary of the Oak Grove rezoning in that, well, I think it leaves out some gaps in information. For instance, it falsely claims that the Planning Commission twice rejected the proposal, which isn't accurate. The Planning Commission recommended denial only on the compromise, and it only did that due to four other members being absent from the vote (including two who supported the project in its first version). Secondly, the master plan had already been amended, thus justifying the rezoning. Finally, the original vote to approve Oak Grove included plans for a commercial section, and folks had bought into the neighborhood anticipating such a development. Granted the proposal deviated from the original proposal, but the Athens-Clarke County Commission worked hard to craft a compromise that fit the earlier use requirements. It's not a perfect solution given its location in the greenspace, but I find it difficult to lay the blame on this commission when the decision was made by an earlier commission.
