BS me once...

it seems that the Council and the mayor are attempting to press forward with this annexation issue just like they did with the new gym issue. Lets state our intentions and make some proclamations, etc. so that it will appear that everybody is on the bandwagon. At the annexation meeting we will pack the crowd with people who stand to benefit from annexation and make it appear that there is a GROUNDSWELL of support, just like last time. It worked so good last time lets try it again! of course most of the Pelican Players last time are in junior high and don't vote or pay taxes. Most of the others were contractors who stand to make a HANDSOME PROFIT from a new gym and they didn't care who knew it!! the mayor is again TALKING about doing DUE DILIGENCE in this matter but why would we believe he is telling the truth THIS time when DUE DILIGENCE wasn't done LAST TIME? Fool me once shame on you. Fool me TWICE, shame on me. I have NO reason to believe that the Mayor or Council will do DUE DILIGENCE this time either and I am tired of being BS'd. Bain got his legacy plaque, Best got his theater, now Youngs will get his annexation legacy project and Garcia will be able to pay off his campaign contributors, so everyone (on the Council) will be happy! The residents will be stuck paying the bills for these expensive self-serving agendas for DECADES! Dotson is the ONLY one with any sense in that whole group. Dotson for Mayor! Who has that recall petition?

The Mayor is calling for a movement forward in this annexation issue and says DUE DILIGENCE will be done. Bullfeathers!! Like it was done LAST TIME? All of the options were NOT explored last time (no matter WHAT the Mayor says) and I doubt they will be explored THIS time in any depth ! They didn't even PRETEND to look at the Pistorino option. They paid the engineer to give an evaluation and then they totally ignored it when it didn't come to the conclusions they wanted to hear. Buried it deep. What the Mayor means when he even suggests that DUE DILIGENCE was done is that all the options that HE wanted to look at were reviewed. In his infinite wisdom HE decided which options are viable and could get him that legacy plaque he covets badly, no matter WHAT the cost is to the residents or whether its really needed. What IS really needed is, the Mayor really NEEDS that legacy plaque, and he apparently doesn't care if he has to mislead, deceive, or be dishonest to achieve that goal. I have NO use for people who dont tell me the truth.
