  • Another citizen Wednesday, Dec 3 at 3:11 PM FLAG COMMENT Hey, who needs essential city services and public safety anyway? Libraries? Ha! Useless buildings. We have to ensure that the government council members can continue to receive their so justly deserved pay raises. I mean they have done such a bang up job of running the city, lowering crime rates, and cleaning up the trash on the streets that who could deny them?
  • Joe Wednesday, Dec 3 at 12:41 PM FLAG COMMENT The "Mayor" says that services must be cut or eliminated beacuse of the defict. Yet this misbegotten, irresponsible adiminstration allowed the City Council to themselves a 225% pay raise! Impeach the "City Goverment"
  • Dave Tuesday, Dec 2 at 10:17 PM FLAG COMMENT Are you freakin' kidding me? his is all the coverage this gets! The "mayor" is gutting essential city services!
