Submit your bid with your bond by X day and thats it.

They didn't say they wanted to close the pool as the D's tried to make it sound!!<br /><br />The D's tried saying that the council as a whole agreed on most of the items; but what I see the bottom line as is that the D's are just spending & borrowing more. Instead of reducing expenses (like many of us have to do)they're just increasing them. The R's always are able to find a reasonable alternative that reduces expenses & borrowing, and the D's always refuse to go along with it.<br />So who's the more fiscally responsible party?? It's a no-brainer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21123853.post-73205784872874366952009-09-02T10:04:55.063-04:002009-09-02T10:04:55.063-04:00"Being fair" is not part of Ecke's p..."Being fair" is not part of Ecke's personality.<br />His arrogance not only to the Republicans on the council but to citizens who question him is enough to vote him out of office.<br /><br />If you can't be an open minded thinker than you shouldn't be in a position to serve the public. There are too many in this town with their own agendas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
