I just read Denise Rockenstein”s article entitled “Middletown Area Plan Discussed,” which noted Supervisor Comstock”s unsuccessful attempt to include within Middletown”s new community growth boundary a 104-acre parcel of agricultural land owned by Rudy and Faith Smith.
The Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 against this with Comstock voting yes.
I did a little research, and discovered that not so coincidentally, Rudy and Faith Smith contributed $1,000 to Comstock”s 2008 campaign for Supervisor from District 1.
This appears to me to be a blatant attempt by Comstock to pay back the Smiths for their support.
Jim Comstock”s a pleasant enough guy, but clearly the wrong guy for the job, so let”s be sure to make him a one-term Supervisor.
This sort of Blagojevich-type behavior is exactly what we don”t need at the Board of Supervisors.
