We need to spend money on services the county is required to provide, and best yet, provide those services at a great value for the money spent. However, the council's motive to spend for the sake of spending troubles me, and I hope it angers more than just Angle here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-75759244065374262592008-12-11T01:55:00.000-05:002008-12-11T01:55:00.000-05:00A single quote from the ancient Greek rhetorician ...A single quote from the ancient Greek rhetorician Isocrates: "Our democracy is self-destructing, because it abused the right to freedom and equality, because it taught people to consider impudence as a right, illegality as freedom, rudeness as equality and anarchy as happiness."<BR/><BR/>Does this sound like an countries we know of?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-88632532528150714502008-12-10T19:36:00.000-05:002008-12-10T19:36:00.000-05:00liberal ragThe one that endorsed no presidential c...<I>liberal rag</I><BR/><BR/>The one that endorsed no presidential candidate and wrapped their election day paper in a bag that said "Defend Freedom, Defeat Obama?"

Take the free subscription and don't sign up at the end. They'll call you for another 13 weeks in just a couple of weeks. Get the ball rolling by canceling your subscription. They have a "get 'em back" sales program and will be in touch shortly. Smite all bankrupt liberal rags! Hoist them by their own petard! Their baseball box scores are microscopic eye charts anyway.

And even if the time is right, the county should not spend millions at a time when it is not ready to handle the load. The county has one engineer. Steve DeSalva is very good, but he's only one person. His view should dictate the pace.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-41208342696228601522008-12-10T08:50:00.000-05:002008-12-10T08:50:00.000-05:00today's opinion page has angles reply to white's b...today's opinion page has angles reply to white's blog (i address it on my blog), is it possible white saw it's contents before today that berated him for not attending meetings? a coincidence?michael molovinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581039755319742687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-16864529574210387282008-12-10T08:30:00.000-05:002008-12-10T08:30:00.000-05:006:10, borrowing and spending (many times over budg...6:10, borrowing and spending (many times over budget spending) is what got us into this mess in addition to the shit for brain financial so called experts anything goes strategies.<BR/><BR/>On Bill White's attendance, the Mcall is in financial dire straights as well and he is the low man on the totem pole but that's a good thing as we can now expect quality news reporting as it should be but on the flip side, the editors need not add their 2 cents and screw up good reporters words...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-18467567655807311022008-12-10T06:10:00.000-05:002008-12-10T06:10:00.000-05:00actually floating a bond in these time might be ex...actually floating a bond in these time might be exactly the thing to do. there is serious debate amongst economists about government, deficits, and the economy. most agree that the time to spend money on capital projects is when the economy is in the tank.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
