To the editor:
The article in the Jan. 13 J-W dealing with the planning commission ignoring Horizon 2020 policies encouraged me to write this letter.
First of all, I believe Commissioner Charles Jones' comments tell me he should be respected by all citizens and government officials. He said the commission's decision to favor developers will lead to sprawl and other negative consequences.
Urban sprawl encourages more automobiles and roads which are favored by the oil barons in Washington. Eventually our gas prices will increase to equal what we now see in Japan and Europe: $3.50. That will show us how developers have led us down the wrong road, wasting much of our tax dollars on gas and roads.
