Address policy on emergency resolutions

To the editor:
When the Hillsboro stockyard was purchased under an emergency resolution, my calls to the mayor and other elected officials were met with indifference.
They did not share my belief that changes are needed in defining and carrying through an emergency resolution so that this would not reoccur in the future. Assured that no changes or adjustments to policy were needed, I was assured that this would never happen again in the next 100 years.
It was, and still is, my opinion that this purchase was an abuse of power by elected officials. They concurred, and due to recent current events, I am concerned again.
On a different subject, it seems as if there has been a "highjacking" at Hangar 6. I have seen cities, towns, villages, etc. attract businesses by throwing any and every type of incentive imaginable their way.
On a recent walk from the center of Hillsboro to where the old high school had been located, I realized that I am totally adhering to this strategy. I hate crowds and long lines. As I strolled past empty and missing buildings, I heard birds chirping. I saw easy parking and hardly any traffic flow (another problem solved).
My spring walk was most enjoyable.
Sincerely,
