We had a long talk with one of the city councilmen this weekend, and according to him, the community is overwhelmingly in favor of this decision, even counting all the people who showed up the other night to protest it. He says he agonized about it for five months, that he got many, many calls from people saying that if it will bring jobs to the town they want the biodiesel plant, and finally came to the conclusion that he would approve the rezone, even if it were happening next to his house. I don't think I believe that, but I do believe that it was a difficult decision for him. Our town, according to him, is desperately in need of money. So maybe this is the only way they could see of making ends meet. This is why they sold us so cheaply.

I hope Honeyville gets everything it was promised.
