It was just a pat yourself on the back ploy to make the Commissioners at the time look SO generous. Just put it back to the way it was already. That small change for an individual can add up to something in the County coffers when accumulated from all residents and hopefully our new Board will use it more wisely than the previous group now that the dynamics have changed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3071606563611538039.post-82894804240773158692016-01-06T00:03:06.227-08:002016-01-06T00:03:06.227-08:00CK we had one hell of a time in the city council t...CK we had one hell of a time in the city council tonight. There was a full house, and a vocal one. People were mad about the fluoride four's vote in the last meeting (December 15, 2015). A full house to protest the lack of accountability and democracy. <br /> A good time was had by all, except, perhaps, the three city council members (Collins was absent) sitting there, listening to the commentary by pissed off citizens, being booed, and all the people speaking up, out of turn. <br /> When Downey was elected mayor by the same four, there was quite a bit of booing, and hissing. (Sadly the rotten vegetables were left home.) <br /> When the same four elected BABBLING Cherie as deputy merry mayor, there were cries of anguish, and I, for one, wished I hadn't left my pitchfork and torch at home.<br /> It was a meeting to be proud of. The pressure WAS enough for the council to give in enough to revisit the vote next council meeting.<br /> Maybe they lied. We will have to all show up -- as a community -- and hold their feet to the blowtorch.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3071606563611538039.post-77213585695565010562016-01-05T23:17:16.859-08:002016-01-05T23:17:16.859-08:00Those of you that did not attend this evenings'...Those of you that did not attend this evenings' city council meeting missed out on an opportunity to watch newly elected Mayor Downie and Deputy Mayor "Crazy Cat Lady" Kidd get publicly humiliated for an hour and a half or more. <br /><br /> They were told this is only just the beginning. They were asked to step down, right there, tonight.<br /><br /> A motion was made to reconsider the vote at the next council meeting. For the next two weeks, the offending council members are going to get a taste of what they have started. <br /><br /> We all know they will call on their dental friends to show up, again. But this is not about fluoride anymore. Most that spoke tonight spoke of the affront to democracy. <br /><br /> Look for and sign the "Step down NOW!" petitions being circulated. Help with signs and leaflets.<br /><br /> And, look for the youtube link for this evenings city council meeting. You'll enjoy it.

Now why did they limit it to those areas? That's where the new car dealers are. They moved outside the city to avoid paying city taxes. <br />McEntiere doubled down by making a tax break that would only affect new car dealers. This gave them an advantage over all those other car dealers who pay taxes to the cities that sustain them.<br />This has nothing to do with politics, it is pure greed. Now, admittedly, more greed heads gravitate to the republican end of the spectrum. Easy to recognize. They took every opportunity available to them to succeed then try to pull up the ladder behind them so no one else can have the opportunity to enjoy what they did/do...when they needed help it was "opportunity" when others need help now it's "welfare".....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3071606563611538039.post-9012738449868685922016-01-05T20:06:17.745-08:002016-01-05T20:06:17.745-08:00Hey, CK, I watched the city council meeting video ...Hey, CK, I watched the city council meeting video you posted the link to. Thanks! The best part for me was the shot at the very beginning of one of the anti-fluoride protesters holding up a sign that read "FlOurie IS BAD." Yeah, it sure is. I hear it rots the brain, or at least the parts used in spelling.<br /><br />Anyhow, I wonder who we're gonna get stuck with as mayor. Doubtlessly one of the FlOurie Four. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3071606563611538039.post-15789998141817917162016-01-05T19:53:54.907-08:002016-01-05T19:53:54.907-08:00In larger cities, with larger economies, and large...In larger cities, with larger economies, and larger pools of money for politicians to skim off of, things tend to run smoother. (Larger areas also often have something resembling an actual press or newspaper lurking about, too.) But here, in Podunk Central, it's a blood match fight to the death over nickels and dimes, because, sadly, that's all we've got around here. Some spare change to battle over, and no one at all interested in watching over us. Cue the wolves.

So, the fact remains,if it is our guy spending like crazy it's okay. If their guys want to spend then it is unAmerican. You cannot discuss reality with people who live in the fantasy divide of partisan politics. Bless their pointed little heads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
