Man-oh-man. You wrote, "The attorney only checked the paperwork." *** do you want? The trial at Nuremberg? Doubting every little thing you can pick on reveals your paranoia. Stephanie is OUT for a legal reason. The smoky mayor feeding you garbage is clickbait.
Nice comment. I believe your sheet and hood are ready to be picked up at the kkkleaners.
Light rain shower, with a high of 67 and low of 63 degrees. Light rain shower in the morning,
once again; complete transparency should be expected with any entity that enjoys status as a natural monopoly.
Absolutely
another opportunity to watch the voting block...
well stated, sir.
Thank you for the transparency this town deserves. Your due diligence is much appreciated. 🌿
this meeting will be the opportunity to see if the 4 vote majority on the city commission will stand or fold - i'm inclined to think they will stick together, and if that is the case, their control over the city's business will be established.
Another disgruntled employee pandering to the government to save whatever failed in real life? Public employees are totally brainwashed into thinking that every problem has to be, and can be, solved by the government. Only they know. Why can't this guy raise the money and buy it to do what his vision is?
Imo, Mr. Dooling’s suggestions seem like a great way to preserve the observatory. If we stand by and watch it be demolished ($10m demo cost), where would the contaminated materials go?
Source of Revenue? For who? Some non-profit that gets government grants to pay for incompetent managers? They can't keep a liquor store open in Cloudcroft. Now, maybe they can make it an RV park.
