The antics of our city manager and most of the City Council would be amusing if it weren’t for the cost to taxpayers and the fact they are making us all look like Hooterville, USA.

In the past 10 years, we have had a mayor who resigned for acts of indiscretion, a city manager criminally charged and now a city manager who apparently couldn’t care less when informed the city’s anti-business actions would cost the city thousands of dollars, which it did.

Small businesses in our city are closing or leaving because of high taxes and low incomes, while larger companies are being given large tax breaks.

Solution: Get rid of our so-called leaders. Replace them with people who understand the difference between historical and progressive.
