To the editor:
Regarding this statement by Reps. Osborne and Lynn:
On Tuesday, House Majority Leader Jason Osborne, R-Auburn, and Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Lynn, R-Windham, released a joint statement after the House passed HB347-FN, establishing a superior court land-use review docket.
"This bill will not only reduce the backlog of land use cases that currently exists, but will provide many economic benefits for local boards, property owners and developers," Osborne said in the release.
Osborne is listed on the AIER website, where Sorens now works, as a voting member of AIER governance.
People believe those who support state takeover of housing are simply working for lobbyists and special interests such as Bob Clegg of Legislative Solutions who works for the building industry. People believe these legislators are ignoring the vote of the people in their respective towns. This is not a good look.
Sorens himself is the founder of the Free State Project and although most are conservative, he is a "Free State socialist".
Allowing the State to override the will of the people who vote in their individual towns is central planning. Central planning is communism.
Perhaps these "conservative" legislators should educate themselves about what the Bolsheviks did historically with this issue. What they are working toward is the same.
