Every Opinion Counts . . .

Some may recall reading in a recent rant about the hotel that was being proposed in very close proximity to a historical landmark in Chattanooga, Tennessee. In addition to signing the petition, and requesting that others do the same, I followed the proceedings closely as they related to the City Council meeting regarding the proposed hotel construction. After the Council meeting, I read in the chattanoogan.com that a prominent Chattanooga businessman stood in support of the hotel's construction. I refer you to the following opinion article that ran on January 26th (the day after the Council meeting) Change Doesn't Always Mean Progress.

I was flooding with e-mails of support for my stand on the issues. In fact, the chattanoogan.com left my article in the top position for five days before moving it (practically unheard of by this newspaper as they rotate their opinion articles as they are received). Several opinions that were received and dated after mine were moved directly into the "Other Opinion" Menu and were never featured on the main page. This hotel is a very volatile issue in the City, especially in this election year for the mayoral race on March 1st. I certainly hope that the 8,000+ names on the petition, and the community rally against the construction, will be enough to stop this travesty!
