I posted a correction.  I got the two guys mixed up.  Selling fuel sounds 
like a business to me; I identified Mr. Busch as a businessman.  Tony 
Johnson, on the other hand, is an excavation contractor.  During the public 
debate on the Parkview Estates, we had the not-so-unique problem of one 
councilman and one mayor who make thier living from development, and one 
councilman who would reap the benefits of appliance installation into new 
homes.  The Parkview Estates was opposed by residents of four streets 
adjacent to the project.  At the public meeting, nearly everyone from those 
streets showed up.  It is an ill-advised project with very limited benefits 
for the community.  It was voted in by a group of guys who could stand to 
make some cash from it (assuming they are no longer councilmen, that being a 
conflict of interest).  I'll take bets right now on how long empty lots sit 
up on those hills.  I say Mr. Germer won't sell a house next year, and we'll 
see vacant lots into 2010.
