Quote of the Day

There is a difference between a preservationist and an obstructionist althought to many the terms are interchangeable. The bottom line is that the commission does something very few government agencies do, they make controversial decisions and they accept the fact that not everyone can be made happy all the time. All the more remarkable considering ten of the eleven commissioners are not paid and the agency’s budget is a tiny fraction of its sister agencies like the City Plannng Commission (whose commissioners get paid handsomely).
