I suppose it was inevitable, with as many Parks board meetings we’ve had in the city council chambers, that eventually we’d attract some … ah, “unique” individuals during our public comments phase. That’s what happened during our last meeting.
One gentleman stood up and began to discuss the Walnut Creek greenway in Southeast Raleigh. His concern seemed to be that the water from the nearby wastewater plant would pose a health hazard to walkers on the greenway. Then he seemed to veer off into some crazy talk about the city purposefully pumping reuse water to the homes of Southeast Raleigh residents. Oh, and the “Freemasons” were in on it, too. No kidding, he actually said that. A conspiracy wouldn’t be complete without the Freemasons, you know.
He finished his rambling comments by telling us that for 11 years the City of Raleigh has been plotting to take the house of his friend. Then, tossing in a few quotes from scripture, he thanked us and exited the auditorium, leaving us to wonder if we had really just heard what we thought we had heard.
We normally record our meetings and then transcribe them, but I’d kind of like to hear the complete audio of the guy’s rant. It was that impressive.
It’s the Illuminati!!!
