Offer people

city bonds

This $3 million voted down for the loan about the first department as collateral. I got a better idea. Why don't Mayor Pearson and the council start selling bonds to people in Poplar Bluff. Buy a $100 bond you know and stuff like that. Give 'em a low percentage interest on it and let the citizens of Poplar Bluff buy those bonds. Some of 'em a $100, $500 or $50, some $10,000 or whatever and pretty soon they'd come up with that money. I believe the citizens of Poplar Bluff would actually buy the bonds themselves and get that little dab of interest just for their own city and show 'em, hey, we're here for our city.

So, let's get behind it and Ms. Mayor and the rest of the council members, let's all make it a deal and you all start selling City of Poplar Bluff bonds and raise that $3 million and we won't have to put collateral up for nobody. What do you think? Let's get with it. God bless Poplar Bluff! Let's go, go, go! Bye.

PB banks don't

want city loans

It's obvious that this city manager knows nothing about banking. Getting a loan and getting a price depends on the risk involved. The city banks know that the continuation of this man's ideas the loan will not be repaid; therefore, they are not willing to bid on it. He's gonna have to find somebody far away that don't understand the problems that's going on in this town to make a bid for a loan. He needs to look at himself, not at the bank.
