Need to check and see if Mr Blackburn would help the city on this project he does represent the city residents
Harold, the storms a coming with a new member. Get ready (if you can). LOL.
Take more than 1 of them Johnny
Let’s put all of the money into Meadowbrook exactly where it’s not needed!!! Way to go council and mayor. Pathetic!!
Well they are paying the majority of the taxes
So that makes them better than the rest of the the community ;!;
No but they are footing a majority of the money the city takes in
This was a grant, for kids that walk to school. No local money. Maybe if you went to a council meeting…
KAG can’t understand that concept, just like the taxes she whines about but has never paid!
