Carmel confusion

If only Clint Eastwood was still the mayor. Martin Marietta Materials has filed a federal lawsuit accusing city of Carmel Mayor James Brainard of playing politics to stop the company from expanding its sand and gravel mine.. The company also is asking for appointment of a new and independent Board of Zoning Appeals to give its mine permit an impartial review. Martin Marietta wants a federal judge to prohibit the mayor from participating, directing or influencing future BZA review of company permit applications. An injunction also is sought to force the current BZA members to withdraw from Martin Marietta's case. Now that would make my day. Oh, wait a minute. Clint Eastwood was mayor of Carmel, Calif. This is Carmel, Ind. Never mind.Your comment?
