As much as I love the Barton Creek Greenbelt -- I spend quite a bit of time down there -- amendment 2 seemed extremely heavy handed, ill-conceived, and hastily written (as did amendment 1). When the Statesman Editorials (from my view they're moderate to right leaning... really) and Louis Black (Austin Chronicle, very left) agree on something, you've got to perk up your ears. Hopefully SOS members, as well as local Sierra Club leaders will realize that in the future they need to get a little from input from those of us who want to protect the aquifer but not at the absolute expense of everything else.
