City council meetings are nothing more than hand wringing sessions. Next election will get some changes (if anyone will run for the seats), but that will be too late.
We are a city of less than 2000 and already have 2 dollar stores, locally owned drug, grocery, and hardware stores, 2 gas and convenience stores. All are all ready competitively priced with stores in the nearby bigger cities.
This is the second developmental fight we've had in the in the 7 years we've lived here. We won the first one when it was proven that the "private prison" developer had lied on their permit applications and in statements to the council. That was one interesting council meeting.
Wish us luck. We do not want that Wal-Mart Express here!!!!
