public post-it note

This isn’t so much a fully formed thought as a reminder to myself to fully form one –
From a discussion on the LPTN list: their candidate for House 58 posts a press release basically in favor of letting the racetrack @ the Fairgrounds do whatever the hell it wants, whenever the hell it wants. I of course am of the opposing opinion, and pointed to a group that’s trying to start a dialog about some more productive and universally beneficial use of this public property.
Anyway I think it could help to have ideas on the table about where the track might go; there are people who enjoy auto racing, and they have their right to it. So I’ll throw one out there — what about Union Hill? Work with or merge it with the drag racing track. Don’t make me drag out words like synergy. I get the impression both organizations could use some of that. And gas ain’t* getting cheaper.
* Is that the sort of artificial colloquial pandering our leaders are supposed to drivel out in order to show they aren’t “elitist”?
