00:00 - 00:03 | The locals have proven themselves annoyingly persistent. |
00:04 - 00:05 | Last spring, they showed up at meetings, |
00:05 - 00:07 | circulated petitions, held teach-ins. |
00:08 - 00:12 | In the fall, they won three seats on the Board of Supervisors. |
00:12 - 00:15 | By December, they filed a lawsuit. |
00:17 - 00:19 | The judiciary is in our pocket. |
00:19 - 00:21 | We have nothing to worry about. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Mein Fuhrer... |
00:27 - 00:28 | The judge... |
00:31 - 00:33 | the judge has already said our plan is illegal. |
00:34 - 00:36 | We will have to start over. |
00:53 - 00:58 | If you are an ass-kisser for corporate Penn State, get out now. |
01:13 - 01:15 | This is absurd! |
01:15 - 01:17 | We are the Toll Brothers! |
01:18 - 01:23 | Backed by the Penn State Board of Trustees! |
01:25 - 01:28 | Who are these community members? |
01:29 - 01:31 | You call yourselves developers. |
01:31 - 01:34 | Your backroom dealing skills suck donkey balls! |
01:34 - 01:37 | You engineers, planners... |
01:37 - 01:40 | fancy land-use lawyers - idiots! |
01:40 - 01:42 | I am just a consultant. I cannot be held responsible. |
01:42 - 01:46 | You are in it up to your neck! |
01:46 - 01:48 | I swear! I'm just following orders! |
01:48 - 01:52 | Call yourselves consultants...Years at engineering school. |
01:53 - 01:54 | just to learn how to avoid taking a stand on anything. |
01:56 - 01:57 | Instead, just mild suggestions. |
01:57 - 02:00 | Obsequious half-truths. |
02:00 - 02:03 | We'd be further ahead... |
02:04 - 02:08 | if we'd paid off the community members. |
02:08 - 02:13 | But they know what they want. |
02:14 - 02:16 | They want clean water, |
02:17 - 02:21 | and productive farms. |
02:27 - 02:29 | And the old supervisors! |
02:30 - 02:34 | Couldn't even control the review process |
02:34 - 02:36 | well enough to make the rubber stamp appeal-proof! |
02:41 - 02:42 | I'm disgusted. |
02:43 - 02:47 | Now we're in this bind. |
02:48 - 02:53 | The approval will get kicked out! |
02:54 - 02:56 | And we won't make it through the red tape again. |
02:56 - 02:59 | My appetite for despoiling farmland is waning. |
03:00 - 03:02 | I find myself yearning for bucolic vistas. |
03:04 - 03:07 | Maybe we can have a nice farm there instead. |
03:14 - 03:16 | Land developers may be going... |
03:19 - 03:23 | the way of buggy-whip manufacturers. |
03:25 - 03:26 | These people... |
03:31 - 03:33 | maybe they are right |
03:40 - 03:46 | that water and farmland are more important than luxury student housing |
03:46 - 03:49 | and investor profits. |
03:53 - 03:56 | I can sometimes see their point. |
