If terrorists commit heinous acts against our Good People, and it is determined that these terrorists were any part of the Open Borders Welcoming Society created by the administration of Idiot President Biden, my question will always be: How many bad and treasonous actors from that administration will be convicted as traitors, and summarily punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Stan in your June 22 comment on a Drone project at our airport, I found this at the City Council April 14,2025 minutes:

The City has received notification of an
award for $13.5M in TRDF grants for multiple projects at Washington Warren Airport. The "North General Aviation (GA) Taxilanes, Hangars, & Drone Pad" is 1 of 9 projects identified to be funded w these funds. Bids were initially received in Jan 2025; however, only 1 bid was received. Per th City Purchasing Policy, th bid was not opened, & th project was rebid. Bids were then opened & received in Feb 2025. 2 bids were received w A.R. Chesson Construction Co Inc., submitting th lowest responsible bid of $4,515,779.35. There is no local match required for this project.

WE always knew that "China Mitch" McConnell was a sellout doing dirty deals with Democrats. We hoped that his understudy, John Thune might be better but leaving this witch in this position shows he is not. Conservatives need to work to elect a GOP Senate leader we can trust. John Thune is NOT it.

Neutral and the City is above the County tax rate. The county stayed flat in a reval year while the city imposed an 11.5 cent increase while stating in articles they decreased the rate.

John, I was addressing more of the fees for notary, parks and rec, mowing and lot cleaning, boat slip rentals, etc. Those are fees. They are a pay as you use fee. I agree that the admin charge to the general fund for utilities is absurd! The previous administration there got that charge way down, to what it reasonably should be. Then, Russell came in and spent down fund balance and increased taxes and fees. They increased taxes by .02 years ago for the new police station. However, when that was built and paid for, they kept the .02 and did not give it back to the citizens. They are dishonest. I already know people who have put their house up for sale and bought land to build outside of the city limits because of the crazy increases the City has imposed. An increase in tax may be warranted if you are getting more services provided but they are not doing that. They took the revaluation and used it as an excuse to blame the county on the tax increase. However, the county is at revenue....

If I ran for local elected office, and promised free ice cream for life, free grocery stores, $30 per hr wages, free childcare, no cops, no arrest, etc, would I be elected? Are we smarter than New Yorkers? I guess that remains to be seen.
I remember a guy who said I dont see why we cant build Two bridges. We didnt even get one.
Citizens are being advised to think twice about who they vote for. We get the Govts we deserve.

Now this Harry Reid hack of a Senate parliamentarian is blocking the provisions dealing with Medicaid fraud. She is a tax and spend whore and needs to be F-I-R-E-D, especially after she allowed the Biden Green New Deal crap to go through reconciliation but want allow things that actually save the taxpayers money.

Nick: Their General Fund budget is 25,000,000. Of that, their ad valorem (property) taxes are 7.5 million. They are not collecting 57 million in taxes from residents. This can all be found in their budget. Also, the taxes are not spread equally across the city. Waterfront areas pay more, obviously. So, NO, every citizen is NOT paying $12,127 or even $10,000+. A lot of revenue is fees. While I agree, their tax increase is insane and their board needs an overhaul. I like transparency from both sides of a debate and saying that they are collecting 57 million in taxes and every citizen is paying $12,127 is highly inaccurate.
