The flu hit our house Wednesday evening, 50% of the household taken down. It is nasty! On the mend, I can only imagine the effect it has on someone other than healthy.
Thanks for all your comments, written and verbal. I enjoy all of them. The paragraph concerning Brian Stevenson touched a couple of nerves out there. Jim, in particular has issues with me, you can see them in Comments in the previous post. I don't have an issue with sister/brother, some people do and I can't change that. I do have a problem with politicians or wanna be politicians who aren't "straightforward". You be the judge, should he have mentioned that if elected he would be joining his sister, Pat White on the board? The only mention in his brochure is to "siblings" that live on the lake.

I would challenge Jim to communicate what he thinks is WRONG around the lake and what he personally is going to do to make it RIGHT.
Dan,
There are several things WRONG around the lake and it is sad if you really are so blind as to not see them. How about City Hall. Taxes go up yet they are open less hours than they were years ago. They get paid full time salaries yet they do not answer phones, and residents can only go in 16 hours a week. Are they being paid for 16 hours a week? I think not! Everything going on in the city should be open for the residents to view. We should be able to know where are money comes from and exactly where it goes. The water rates have gotten out of control. They have pretty well doubled over the last 3 years. Yes I know Kansas City raised their rate, however not to the tune that we area paying. As for the upgrades that York feels we need to the water systems why are we replacing grinder pumps that are not broken, why not replace when they do break. There are residents that have lived her for years and years and been paying grinder fees and have never needed to use them, yet now we have a new fee to cover new grinders. What about the increase to cover meters that can be read from the street to save us a few hours of of pay. The meters are only read every other month to begin with, so when you figure $10/hr x8 hours x 6 extra days a year is only $480/year. Which means in 40 years it would still only cost an extra $19200 and in 40 years I'm sure the meters being installed now would have needed to be updated and we still would not have spent the money we are going to spend on the system plus the man hours to install it. So many of us get caught up in the who likes who and who can we talk about, what can we complain about today. What if we all took just 1 month and said nothing bad about our neighbors, nothing bad about our enemies, could you imagine what we could accomplish!! Call me a dreamer, but my family came to this lake with the lala filled dream of a better life.
