What do we have in Dodge? This is what we get....
Dear Sherry,
Thanks for your input; as far as I know there are no plans to change any traffic ordinances.
Sincerely,

Not, this sounds like a good idea, lets look into it. NOPE, business of usual. What the deal is that the beef plants run the town with their money. ANY move by the city/local gov't that might upset them is probably NOT going to happen, after all we MUST look after our beef packers. (not saying that all people at the packing plant don't have a license but lets look at where the problem stems from) All I have to say is LEADERSHIP LEADERSHIP LEADERSHIP. Are YOUR local leaders representing YOU (Bubba) or are they representing someone else? Do they have YOUR best interest in mind or are they after the almighty $? |
I was disappointed in Ricks short, blunt reply. But then again...
Rick has a business here in Dodge City - a business that sells car radio equip and cell phones. A magnet business for illegals. He wont do anything to hurt his own interests.
This is the problem with the commisioners in
DC - most, if not all
are business owners. How else could they take off any time they need for the commissioner duties? The position by it's very nature, rules out the common blue collar worker representation. 90% of us work for someone else. So, it does not represent us well, since it's panel is made up of mostly businessmen.
Is it any wonder why the panel will side with big business over the common man?
