3-There’s nothing better than a good plot, slightly thickened!  “The hottest topic of the meeting surrounded Plan Commission President David Schilling.  Schilling did not attend Wednesday’s meeting because he was prepared to abstain from voting.  His reasoning, he signed a lease agreement to rent his land to the Wind Captial Group back in June 2010.  However, he did not inform other board members of his potential conflict of interest until October 2010.  Board members and citizens agreed that Schilling created a conflict of interest and tainted the whole ordinance process.  Now they must start completely over.”
