Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer

DEAR CONGRESS,

Last year I mismanaged my funds and this year my family and I cannot decide on a budget. Until we can come to a unified decision that fits all of our needs and interests, we will have to shut down our check book and will no longer be able to pay our taxes. I'm sure you'll understand. Thank you very much for setting an example we can all follow.

Before you spend,save.
Before you assume, learn the facts.
Before you judge, understand why.
...Before you hurt someone, know where to bury the body.

SAVE THE SWINGING BRIDGE!

I just spoke with Commissioner King. According to recent conversations she's had with Senator Randy White, the estimated cost to save the swinging bridge is in the neighborhood of $400,000. How badly do you want this bridge saved? Are you willing to work for it??

The Legislature is in session as we speak. Now's the time to remind them that Clay County helped put some of them there. Fran's offered to participate in a Town Meeting to help in any way she can. What do you think of having a Town Meeting in the near future - say at the courthouse - to discuss the things we've been discussing on the blogs? It'd be a good opportunity to not only discuss the bridge, but also invite our Elected Ones to come out & hear what we have to say. I've offered to help organize this meeting if we can get enough interest. Anyone? Anyone??
