[Vision2020] NSA zoning permit

[Donovan Arnold]

Not to smash Mr. Curley or anything. Or to even say he is wrong. But don't 
you guys think he would be a little bit biased in his views considering that 
he is representing people in a case regarding the issue? I mean, would he 
even be a good lawyer if he was to bring up all the good legal points 
against his clients? So using him as a "Legal Source" to prove your point 
that Wilson is in the wrong is like using Dickison (the NSA Lawyer) as a 
source to prove he isn't wrong. Don't we want an unbiased point of view to 
get to the truth? Just some food for thought to those of you out of the get 
Wilson and his little dog too.
