I wouldn’t be surprised what goes on behind our backs… I brought up a town in Ky that voted to disband the town and turned it over to the county because of secret meetings high taxes and a really messed up budget. Honestly I would like to see that take place. If we don’t cut the head off the snake then we can’t the snake. Between frivolous spending over ran with crime and homelessness it’s time for some type of change!

DURING THE JUNE 3 MEETING, THE $70 MILLION DOLLAR BUDGET WAS APPROVED. YES, $70 MILLION, WHICH IS A 33 PERCENT INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR. THE GREAT MAJORITIY OF THE INCREASE IS DUE TO CAPITAL PROJECTS, INCLUDING ANOTHER NEW FIRE STATION (STARTOWN) AT $5 MILLION DOLLARS. THERE WILL BE MORE INFORMATION FORTHCOMING.
