And since most of you didn't attend any of the hearings or board meetings, the first denial was enough to defeat the application.

Equally, it is the responsibility of each board member to vote no, to disapprove, if there is no such evidence.<BR/><BR/>I have repeatedly asked for some citation of some evidence as to need, and Merle has yet to post any, though he has promised. Hence, I conclude that PDC's attorneys did NOT do as complete a job as they might have, and Merle seems to be trying to bail PDC out. He cites a lot of "stuff," but NOT directed to the three issues where he is in disagreement with the majority of the board. <BR/><BR/>As I said, there is no such evidence.
