Why are the taxpayers of our city always receiving hikes from the nonprofit organization city utilities. Every time they need a new pair of shoes, up goes our utilities. Where are our elected officials that are supposed to be looking after our best interests. Our they on vacation again?

We were told that shutting down our clean burning coal power plant would save us money because of the cost of coal . Every since the coal plant went to gas power, our utilities have gone up. We need some new people in office that really work for us. Stop the over building, high taxes for nothing and lack of leadership in our town. Don’t vote for anyone who served in the City Council; you can see already what their going to do to us. And don’t think of a county commissioner either. We need a right-wing government now more than ever. November is a time to clean house. Bring on people who will make the city work for us and not us work for the city.
