You're so funny Pappy!

I was gonna post about Sandra's FOIA article but I was too busy last night. Good Job Sandra!!! The people of Summerfield need to know why the Staff members are leaving and that the CC's, while touting fiscal responsibility, are actually wasting our money and leaving us NOTHING to show for it except for the stack of papers carried around by their spokespeople.

I have a lot more to say on this subject, but I think I'll post most of that elsewhere. 

I think Councilman Williams was correct in stating that the CC's are wasting valuable time with countless requests and Councilwoman Barnes hit the nail on the head when she said that they had succeeded in aggravating people.

I found it interesting that Councilman Crawford SAYS that he has "resigned" from the CC steering committee due to a "difference of opinion". Wonder which one of them he had a difference of opinion with???  Wonder if he really did have a difference of opinion or if he's just trying to give us the ILLUSION of distancing himself from the others.

Actions speak louder than words.

I think things were great before the CC's climbed out from under their rocks mstone.

I'm sure some mistakes were made, but we were a new town and folks were learning how to go about running that town.

We were happy.  We were a community.  We were progressive, and making plans for the future instead of focusing on the past.  Neighboring towns even looked at Summerfield to set an example for them. We were proud of our accomplishments.

Not anymore.  It's really embarrassing.

Just more smoke and mirrors.... I just hope some uninformed person didn't take this stuff at face value. BJ won with no problem. Obviously this Illinoise Taxpayer group didn't sway the voters around here. Thank goodness people around here are smarter than that -- now anyways. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!!!!!!" When are the citizens of Summerfeild going to stand up and say enough to these people???? And I don't just mean on this forum. I mean a real uprising.......
