We have our town back!

Last night the choke hold on our fine town was released as the old guard was shoved to the side. I feel how easy it is to breathe again. Jamie, Patti and Gayle challenged the old ways and shook the Council Hall. They made it clear that it was going to be hard to spend our hard earned dollars! No spending $200,000 on a running track with 90 degree turns (90 degrees???). This track is a perfect example of how things WERE done. Not even a little common sense, just spend away. Jamie put City Management on notice that their actions will be under a microscope. Job descriptions of all managers, all city contracts and on and on. Tom Ristau was stopped so fast he went through the windshield. I left before the Roy Payne incident. I have it that Roy Payne's contract was also going to be looked at. Steve and Laurie protested wildly, I understand. It looks like there is something to hide, otherwise why should they care. Maybe they should have taken better care of OUR money! This is not the same City Hall today.
