A while back, I posted a comparison proffered by County Judge Buddy Villines that he said demonstrated the superiority of a proposed county land use ordinance for protecting Lake Maumelle’s watershed over an agreed land management plan worked out by the water utility, residents and developers.

Read on. Some of this is technical, but suffice it to say that, given a choice of opinions, I’ll go with Haas’.
