"Rules bad for environment?
Commissioner Steve Stuart said Wednesday that the state rules might actually be bad for the environment. They'd accelerate development on the city fringes, he said.
"Infill and development will stall," said Stuart. "There will need to be more expansion of the urban boundaries and more environmental degradation that goes along with that."
He said he'd oppose any county ordinance that would require sites to drain as well as they did in the days of * Lewis and Clark.
"I'm not going to vote for it," he said. "Sue me."
