The board of education ... listens well. When all the comments against the tax increase were made, they promptly went into a board meeting and passed the ... tax increase. That's what they intended to do all along. It was a farce.

After seein' what's happened in Bell, California ... I think it's time we took a close look at all the salaries of the city and county people here. ... Maybe some of them's gettin' over paid way too much. Maybe their pension plans are way too much for what we can afford. ... They work for us. It's time we took a look at it and did somethin' about it, especially the school board, who always wants to raise our taxes.

Clinton balanced the budget, eliminated the deficit and left ... Bush with a surplus. Bush spent the surplus, started two wars, allowed corporations to destroy the economy and left Obama with a $1.2 trillion deficit. Obama's tryin' to repair the damage, but Republicans won't let 'im.

I think it's pretty obvious our city council and mayor need to step down after choosing to settle with Elhaj. ... First, they choose to settle with McCorkle. Now they choose to settle with Elhaj ... wasting over a half a million dollars of our city's ... hard-earned tax dollars. Clearly these men are ... inept and the only thing they're good at is wasting money, so it's time they all do us a favor and step down.

Hey, y'all, what happened to ... Michael's ... Deli and Seafood? ... It was good! I ate there at least once a week. ... It was good food. It was inexpensive. What's wrong with you people?!

Does anyone have the phone number for the ... women's support group for women who can't put their dishes in the dishwasher dirty?

Instead of not giving employees ... a raise for over three years, if the city wants to save money, they should get rid of the incompetent city attorneys who keep allowing these ... lawsuits to happen. And while they're at it ... fire the incompetence who hired the incompetent attorneys. Keep their money, give it to the employees.

I was told years ago that as a city employee I was not allowed to sue the city for any reason.
