North Annex: Either a strip mine or pawn shop mentality on the part of Floyd County's officialdom.
... While at-large city council member John Gonder eloquently reminds me of why I voted for him:
Just Wondering
The long view need not cause a burden for us in the here and now. A short term gain from a sale of property will not have a sizable impact on the City's finances for more than a couple quarters, while ongoing ownership will produce continual, though lower in the short run, dependable funds which will support City services year in and year out. More importantly, we can make decisions today which will benefit not just ourselves but those who follow us, so those who attend the Quadra (?) centennial celebration will have something valuable to pass on to their heirs.
I didn't vote for John to write well. He's quite capable and was already doing that. I voted for him to put the content of his writings into action as advocacy from an elected official. I hope he eventually decides he's capable of that as well.
