| That's what she said. When she said it DC's mouth flew open and his eye's rolled. I thought at that time I had won her over. Boy am I gulliable.

We also need to write or email the council and write the NWO. Use the forum an' get others on here! That's what it's fer!
We have the power. Let's use it!
You can bet they'll use ever' behind the scenes dirty they can think of, call it ever' degradin' name they can think of, invent ever' twisted money-wastin' argument they can think of to get their way.

Pappy still cain't get over that useless resolution against illegal aliens! Dwayne tried to twist that into an "If you aren't for it, then you're for breaking the law," argument. The utter bald-faced obscenity of that twisted an' childish attempt disgusts Pappy. It's an abuse o' power, plain an' simple!
Pappy knows there's a whole bunch o' reasonable, decent people are out there. We need to let that other bunch hear somethin' from us!

| The scare tactics of "If you are not for this you are breaking the law" is pure TERRORIZM of Summerfield citizens.

So what's next? Tryin' to stop ball teams by passin' a resolution against juvenile gangs on town property?
Be it resolved, the Town of Summerfield hereby denounces the presence of juvenile gangs (sometimes referred to as organized ball teams) who conspire to engage in any and all forms of potentially violent activities, i.e, throwing hard round objects (often called baseballs or softballs), swinging wooden or aluminum clubs (sometimes referred to as baseball or softball bats), and engaging in open competition with opposing gangs (sometimes referred to as baseball or softball games) within the unprotected borders of that political entity known as the Town of Summerfield.
Far-fetched?

If I don't have an American flag flyin' in my yard, does that mean I'm anti-American?
No.
If I don't say I'm not going to engage in illegal activity today, does that mean I am?
No.
The council did the right thing by votin' down the illegal alien resolution. It doesn't mean the town is for illegal anything. It means the town council thinks it exists to deal with town issues, not federal issues.
It also means the Border Patrol an' the National Guard will simply hafta do the best they can without the full force an' might o' the Town o' Summerfield behind them. (It's just a guess, but that may have been their plan all along.)
Also a guess, but the point o' the illegal immigration resolution may have had more to do with throwin' obstacles at the park than any lofty ideals o' truth an' justice.

Agreed Pappy. This is what DC is famous for, twisting people's words around.
"Y'all better vote for my cooked up resolution, or I'm gonna make up stories about y'all, and see how many lies I can come up with. After all, it will continue the legacy I started last year with all the mailings to your houses......told some zinger lies then, didn't I? and y'all swallowed them, and elected me to office........dern I'm a smart councilman"
Then next month........."I didn't tell any lies, it's all in General Statute 123 subsection 456 paragraph 789 subsection abcde written in 1809, and it's STILL LAW" Dern, another useless resolution we can write........Hey Attorney Hill................

I find that it's rather sad that the business of the Town Council and the town itself is being disrupted by the scism within the Town Council. They have enough work to do without having to tangle with the useless political wrangling.
Granted, BS and DC got the most votes in the last election and we have to respect the fact that they have been duly elected by the town's voters as Town Council members. However, it would make everyone's life so much easier if there could be some compromising going on rather than see the constant 3-2 votes. I understand the appeal to the voters of the Concerned Citizens mantra of no taxes and no services. But I see this as not a practical position. If they could compromise towards a position of fiscal responsibility and work with the other Council members and volunteers rather than being seen as intransigent and obstructionist, then real progress could be made.
Many of the current initiatives going on in town such as construction of the Park and the pursuit of land for active recreation should not be viewed as wasteful spending of the taxpayers money; but as investment in the future of the town's viability. I believe that these initiatives in particular are the very things that the town should be obligated to do. That is, creating the necessary infrastructure and facilities that make a Town a community and to provide the necessary things that our families must have. Doing this not only provides critical must-have things, but also protects everyone's property values.
I think that the Concerned Citizens and in particular BS and DC should be down on their knees and profusely thanking the volunteers who are making things happen and saving the taxpayers a ton of money in the process. Many of the volunteers, such as the volunteer Park construction manager have been very sucessful in making changes that have saved the project a lot of money and have gone towards creating a quality outcome. I wish that all of the Council members would have been present last weekend to get muddy with the rest of us during the playground construction.

Okay, I know I've been absent for awhile, but couldn't resist jumping back in hear.
It seems to me that you have to be careful what you wish for -- you might get it. For lots of people, the bottom line is what is it going to cost me? If there are SRA members out there who voted for some council members just because they wanted to have low/no taxes, it just might be coming back to bite them!
It's always easy to spend money on what you want/think you need, but somebody else might feel totally different. Spending money on meat might be a ridiculous expense if you're a vegetarian, but could be very important if you're a cattle farmer. Spending money on cigarettes might be stupid, but if you're a smoker or a tobacco farmer, you might see it differently.
I know its different with tax money because it's not just your money. But at least in my mind, there is this "for the good of the community" concept. For the good of the community, I probably would have been in favor of the sheriff's sub-station as well as ballfields (yeah, my kids have been out there at 10 or 11 before). I don't want to spend countless money on taxes, but what are we saving those millions of dollars for anyway?

| Baseball Fields are just one avenue for the Town to give back to the people. Children in this day and time (2006 not 1900 if your looking on DC) need organized activities to keep them active. When a child grows up with this, knowing his/her own children can grow up with this also, that is how a community/town grows from within and become a tighter family. Rather than growth happening from the outside it happens from within. Just some food for thought.
