Taylor County doesn't have the debt problems
listed in state comptroller report, judge says
- the debt either exists or it doesn't. Plus Bolls is less than honest about

payments to begin with you budget is lower. Plus, using bond money increases
the expense due to the interest that has to be paid which is significant. |

New Citizens Committee To Offer
Input On Sign Ordinance Changes
- Beware more committees! This is likely nothing but a way to
turn this from-nowhere-problem into a big deal to push for
regulation. The issue came forward with no demand from the
public, only city staff. Now, the spark will be fanned into a
bigger flame to justify further city regulation of private
property. Pro-property rights folk need to be on the committee
and refuse to give an inch. Because if you give an inch they
will take a mile. |
