Fanx. I'll suss it out. Unfortunately, the biggest source of income is TOT, second is property taxes, third is sales tax. Businesses don't have any more money, and why should they support the library when most of them don't use it? Let's tax alcohol and cigarettes instead. They don't dare vote.

I must be missing something here, guys. Are you serious that no one wants more tourists?

KSBW said we'll have a city manager this week

They want the job, not the abuse.

Actually, Vicki Stilwell is mayor pro tem. And Lisa has said three times publicly that she will not run for re-election. I wonder if she'd take the mayor's place.

BUSTED!

And now they want to recall Kampe, Lindsay and Stilwell. Let's see: 4 out of 7. . .you wanted to know who's in charge? THE KOOKS!
