I see the need for fire halls, yes. But that foot bridge.. who is in charge here, anyway? What the heck do we need a foot bridge for when we need TRAFFIC bridges?

Rome is beginning to look less and less like a city well managed when the city manager can't manage well enough to offer the city employees decent health coverage at a decent rate, when he gives an appointment to the PW director to keep from hurting his feelings (nice precedent. I guess all city employees who try for a new job will henceforth and for now on get a new position? If not, then why would the PW director be given the position he's been handed, and no one else get the same treatment?) I just don't know what to think.

I'm moving to the county as far away from the city limits as soon as I can. We've been looking at the Shannon district, because I feel that it has been overlooked for too long. I think that area will be the next to boom, and I want in before the prices for houses goes up too fast.

By the way, I got to our polling place before it opened today, and there was already a line. Had I been thinking, I would have found a few people around the area who I know aren't voting, and borrowed a bill from them, and voted for them. You all are aware that it's that simple, right? All you need is some utility bill to vote. In America. In the 21st century. Now where is the sense in that, I ask you? And the sticker is, the democrats who keep saying elections are stolen are the ones fighting against voter IDs. Now why would they be doing that, I wonder? If you ask me, they knew how to stuff ballot boxes in 2000 and 2004, and KNEW they had the elections in the bag, and when the republican voter turn out overcame their cheats, they came unglued. I mean how can you beat a cheater if you aren't cheating? is what I bet was going through their minds. Yeah, make voter IDs the law.
