Scott City fight continues
August 27th, 2011
Speaking to a large crowd, Scott City Mayor Richard Santana vowed to continue the city’s lawsuit against the Council for the Preservation of Human History and Culture. “The preservation council has clearly overstepped its statutory limits,” he said. “It is abusing its power, and the citizens of Scott City will suffer as a result.” At a separate event, former Scott City Mayor Bill Hansley spoke to a crowd rallying for the preservation of Founders Park, and defended his decision to bring the preservation council into the fight. “Part of their mandate is to preserve historic sites that may be endangered by local politics,” he said. “Our community is divided over this park. But it is part of our history. If it’s gone, it’s gone for good. I acted to preserve it for future generations, and I have no regrets.”
