🗳️ 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘'𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘, 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐎𝐓.
The last few days we've had some fun with Earl Allen and his signs.
And it got us thinking...
Forty years later, the signs are gone, but the conversations haven't changed much.
• The good ol' boys. (shh...don't say it again...we don't want another sales tax...)
• The same names.
• The same complaints.
• The same "somebody should do something."
Not that long ago, we had a special election to fill a seat for about 10 months.
• We spent the money.
• We had the debates.
• We wrote the Facebook novels.
• We solved every city problem from our recliners.
𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝟏𝟎% 𝐨𝐟 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭.
𝐓𝐞𝐧.
𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭.
𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐥' 𝐛𝐨𝐲𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤.

So before tomorrow's posts about taxes, roads, spending, downtown, growth, annexation, parking, the city council, the mayor, the weather, or whatever we're mad about next week...
𝐆𝐎 𝐕𝐎𝐓𝐄
