Who is up for re-election next go around: Mitch Abraham, Miles, Atkins, Houston, and the mayor? Is that right? So let's see who needs to go ...
Abraham: got us into the water/sewer fiasco as well as the MIC fiasco
Atkins: supports MIC, now using the MIC Advisory Group as propoganda tool for the town, failed to take leadership role in C4K, wife now works for another of the town's payroll, failure to get the ethics committe up and running
Montgomery: has not served honorably as mayor, failed to follow through on promises to fight MIC
Houston: voted for MIC, still supports MIC, does not provide public leadership on the board -- just sits back and lets things flow
this whole crowd must be replaced they now consider themselves as power brokers who do they think they are to say"we will not even seek out a new town manager" Smith could not even win a job as dog-catcher - he is rediculed all over town
They are all sell outs! Who wants to bet Montgomery and the rest of them have pocketed money or bribes for their "change of heart" regarding issues they once stood against? What about all the crap they spew about loving our town so much? LIARS!
