Heat Wave and No Pool

Tony B,

Main Street historic district.  And they'll find the $5,000 extra every year (and more as "utility costs necessarily skyrocket") to pay for electicity usage and maintenance on those lights.

As a matter of fact they did Bo. The whole community was invited to S. Main St and the city manager's house on Antrim Court. Didn't you get the invite to cool off at the Mulligans lavish home and rub elbows with the S. Main St. crowd? (The invite mentioned the overflow of the " hooligan/riff-raff" (their words) having an invite to the Kohler estate-just don't touch anything/know your place mister)

Wine and cheese served to those deemed friends of the city and the arts........"Jim Jones" simulated Kool-Aid and leftovers for the rest of us. Only problem was they couldn't guarantee our safety while there as the bushes and trees blocked the lighting. To counteract this problem, roving police officers were doubled for protection as per the S. Main St. request....at taxpayer expense of course. The cooling centers were all coordinated by Landen through emergency legislation and his own special interpretation of the law, with one decenting vote and two abstaining after the original idea was shot down.    The Mulligans and Kohlers were re-imbursed through a hidden slush fund tucked away for "special occasions".

Again thanks to Pac for laying it out real simple. Cooling centers? Folks you either call or showup to the podium and bitch. Otherwise your dreaming about help from this leadership, sorry lack of.
