stop digging

If we dont learn from the past we will continue to make the same mistakes. We need to be reminded of the past mistakes until we are heard and they are corrected. We will have at least a 2.6 million dollar deficit next year, yet somehow we continue to take on more debt. An old country saying goes, "When you find yourself in a hole, the FIRST thing you should do is to STOP digging!" That sounds like pretty good advice in our situation, but NOBODY is listening, except Dotson. After multiple, costly and continuous disasters City officials are hoping for a Hail Mary in annexation to bail their incompetent butts out. The have already made an end-run around the people by not letting them vote on the new gym OR annexation. Fortunately, some residents have huddled, are staging a come-from-behind rally, and marching steadily downfield as the (city) officials make a last-ditch stand. Sports terminology seems to be cool lately, as a way to describe events (especially in the Gazette, which is ALWAYS running a slant pattern).
