That seems awfully strange her entire webpage has one sentence about her 16 years of freelancing experience and successfully designing over 70 subdivisions. Also a google search does not show her name, related to any one of the municipalities for which she has worked.
Her main achievement seems to be her art. And good for her. She looks like a great artist. And if she is out of the mapping business, due to bad fortune or illness, still not really clear on that either, it doesn't indicate that on her website.
No apologies here. The blame falls squarely not on this artist. It should fall on Jorden and our Council. Paying for work which was never produced. And with the stakes so high in Melancthon at this time, we need the best, NOT the cheapest.
With all due respect to Mr. Jorden, I do believe that he was a good planner in his time....but that day has come and gone. Just like an athlete who is no longer in their prime, he should see (by all the criticism) that it is time to pass his job to someone else. The planner that was filling in for him was really on top of things. I don't understand why council or Mr. Jorden himself can't see that.
