Our beloved country is $18 Trillion plus in the hole ..... and growing! At some point in time these Federal give-away programs and grants must be cut back or even eliminated. We're facing a huge financial crisis and too many people are fat, dumb and happy as long as they have their credit cards, cell phones, rent-to-own furniture, large car payments, etc. etc. Wake up America! Now is the time to support City Manager Adkins as he proceeds with local financial belt tightening. Stay the course.

"Wake up America! Now is the time to support City Manager Adkins as he proceeds with local financial belt tightening. Stay the course"
Hey Analytical. You wouldn't be supplementing your income by being the newfound PR spokesperson representing Doug Adkins would you? Or could you be Doug Adkins himself? Your posts of support for this city manager far exceed the limits of embellishment. Rather, it is now in the category of pure comedy and nonsense. You have now spread enough manure. Oh, and the federal government isn't going to do a thing about the deficit. They care only about their own skin and not the future generations and the dilemma they will leave them in. Inept government people got us here and inept government people will keep us here. They are all worthless. |

I'm so proud of my hometown and what it has become. Recall 'em all. Let's start over.
