What's the Council doing with our taxes now?

CITY COUNCIL MOVES FORWARD TO BUILD $350,000 LOG CABIN
"...it’s difficult to understand why in the world the city would invest, at this time, a possible $350,000 to build a log cabin and what goes with it, eight miles away in the country on a site we don’t own, but for which we will have to provide security. It’s not even in the city limits! How do you explain to residents the city is providing security outside the city limits to protect a log cabin, when they want more security in their own neighborhoods to protect lives?..."

Former Mayor Osborne has this absolutely right in his editorial. The long term security costs and lack of state or federal funding make this a project for better economic times.
My question is: Are Mr. Edwards and Caulkins simply trying to build their own legacy?
My congratulations to Councilman Laegler, for having the courage to be the only "no" vote, to delay a good project for another time, when it can be properly financially supported.

RINO season is now open

RINO Season Is Now Open
by Ted Nugent
"Like any entity that abandons basic quality control, political parties rot from within. It happened to the Democrats long ago, and now has become the case with the Republican Party, which has strayed from its conservative underpinnings.There are really only four things I have a strong aversion to: unloaded guns, dull knives, banjos, and Republicans in Name Only (RINOs)"...

Well, Ted, I agree with 3 out of those 4, but banjos aren't THAT bad, or perhaps "banjo" is a code word for liberals. If so, my apologies to Ted for misunderstanding.

Election Day Polling Places Busy

I had an unusually long line at my normally quick polling place this morning at 6:30. I actually had TWO people ahead of me in line. Everything seemed to be moving smoothly, and my elapsed time taken for my duty as a citizen, from parking to voting to driving away, was just over 10 minutes. How were your voting experiences? Any delays or problems?
