The “new” MCC will be as powerless as it is today.
I can only speculate on what the MCC might have to do or not do to earn the favor of the BOS. Does the Midcoast want to go down that path?
Do we have a choice?

**Currently Quarry Park is the ONLY developed park on the Midcoast.** The unincorporated Midcoast should have approximately 111 acres of developed parks.

It’s the beginning of a larger plan to combine the park woodlands with other surrounding forest preserves to create a 500-acre natural park. By all accounts, the talks between county park officials and board members of the Midcoast Park Lands are still preliminary, but officials at both agencies agree that giving the…

**Coretta Scott King Gives her Support to Gay Marriage**
"Gay and lesbian people have families, and their families should have legal protection, whether by marriage or civil union," she said. **"A constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages is a form of gay bashing and it would do nothing at all to protect traditional marriages."**

A **bigot** is a person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles, or identities differing from his or her own, and bigotry is the corresponding state of mind.

That's what this election is about -- equality, freedom and fairness, for all. Marriage is the institution that conveys…
