I agree with all these comments. Tax-payers are totally insignificant in the eyes of city, county, and state officials.

Like my Mother always said.
Son never be a lawyer, they do not have the choice, they have to package the truth.

Guess it applies here too, but I think it is more than packaging the truth, it is more like you scratch my back I scratch yours.

With one of the best retirement and health plans in country, why not.

With all the CREATIVE accounting, budgeting, procurement, “managing” and “assistant managing”. Would you not do it?

Walk if you will for a moment in the shoes of these young and old local politicians who have a flair for talking.

Having the “gift of the gab” used to be a curse, but nay, nowadays; it is money in the bank – well not yours but maybe a friend of a friend of a family member via contracts, agreements etc.

Nice, Capitalism at work, nay at it best.

Tis, indeed, folly to be wise where ignorance is bliss.

Steve Hougland has my vote. Matter of fact, anyone running against an incumbent has my vote. This is just unbelievable – $50,000 raises on the backs of tax payers. No one and let me say that again – no one deserves a $50,000 raise, especially in this small town.

He term limits out of State government. Becomes a city commissioner. Now he runs for a federal position in a district that guarantees lifetime employment. Just what is needed, another career politician.

The only thing wrong with Socialism is when Curtis runs out of your money.

I wonder if Mr. Richardson is now looking for a raise?
