Nothing Dennis Wilcox, Phyllis Evans and Mary Dunbar can do in the next 4 years will equal the impact on our local economy or quality of life that saving Oakwood would have had. The damage to local business, water runoff, air quality, and property value that developing Oakwood will have cannot be mitigated. Did any of these public officials work on a regional approach to Oakwood? Or speak out on …   more ›
