From the transcript
At the same time, statements were made that do not match the documented record regarding what was submitted and when. Just as troubling, our counsel has formally advised the borough that required public notice procedures were not followed before this moratorium was advanced. The public was given very little time. To review it, understand it, or respond to a proposal that could have significant impacts on property rights and future economic development. That should concern every resident of Petersburg, not because of the project, because of the precedent.
