Here are a few constructive suggestions for the mayoral candidates to adopt in their platforms:

1 Greet people when you meet them: Bill Crisp was excellent at speaking to people and greeting them properly. A fine example to be followed.

2)Some people (like myself) have health problems (mine is thyroid) that make drinking floridated water hazardous to their health. About 50% of places now leave out the floride. We should consider this when making decisions. Everyone cannot afford to buy bottled water.

3)Let responsible groups use the courthouse at night. Every excuse I have heard does not hold water for not allowing us to use the courthouse. We paid for it and have used it responsibly for years. This action was clearly to keep Ms. King’s group out and she just moved her meetings elsewhere so Rep. Women, AA, the beekeepers, etc. have to pay and what has anyone accomplished except to deny us the use of the courthouse (which we have used responsibly for years).

4)Don’t get up and walk out on the commission meeting. It is your job to tolerate people whom you don’t agree with.

What constructive suggestions would you like to make to the mayoral candidates?

Today, the Obama administration will announce its 3.8 trillion dollar budget. It will include 100 billion US dollars for job-creating investments in small businesses. LINK

As taxpayers, we’ve been forced to give one company, AIG, over 100 billion dollars.

To recap, small businesses employee more than half the nations work force. AIG is one company. And this administration has decided to prop them up equally? Alrighty then.
