Why wouldn't the mayor and city council let people vote on the hotel? Why can't the taxpayers involved in any to be annexed area be allowed to vote on being brought into the city? These bottom feeders like to think they know what is best for the people, and as long as they can screw us, they keep spouting that line. I would love to hear one bottom feeder explain, in writing, how retired people, on fixed incomes, can afford higher/more taxes! Anyone want to take odds on that happening?

I'd love to talk about that with you sometime. Chad Charlie,
