political comedy

It was almost comical last night to see all the politicos jumping suddenly on the, "We really wanted the people to vote all along" bandwagon last night. Dotson is the only one who has espoused this cause all along. If they truly believed that the people should vote on all BIG issues they would have had the people vote on the new gym. Billy is on record as saying he didnt think that was necessary in that case, but gave NO cogent reasons for his conclusion, as usual. Youngs said he didnt want to bring it up to a vote until the boundaries were clearly established. IF that were true, and its very doubtful, why isnt he, and the rest of them, on record as saying that all along? Not a peep, up until now, as if they could slip this one in too, like the new gym, they would have. If you havent had a chuckle today, watch the Comcast video of all the politicos scrambling and backtracking to spin themselves into a good position. One even said the Council CHOSE to allow the people the right to vote! Bullfeathers!The annexation petition FORCED them to allow it because otherwise, it would never have happened!
