Last to leave

turn out light

How could the citizenry of Poplar Bluff allow this dramatic shift in our city council to bring in this rank amateur from these other cities that he nearly destroyed to our fine community? Yes, I'm talking about that young, buck idiot that we call our city manager and I'm gonna call him what he is! He reminds me of those people in California that sunk that small community out there, bilking them out of millions by sending it out of town to all of this guy's cronies, which this young man is doing very well as of late.

So, Poplar Bluff, before he sinks your ship with a 20 percent increase in utility rates to pad his pockets -- yes, I said it again--and of course his cronies' pockets. We need to wake up and have a recall election of not only the city council but the firing of the city manager as well.

Dollars are dollars, Poplar Bluff, and they are digging a hole that you can't pour dump trucks full of dollar bills into and not end up getting to the bottom. We saw the state of that terrible roof problem at city hall--what a joke! Doesn't our city council know a stitch in time any more? Anybody that couldn't fix a roof shouldn't have been city manager. Poor Doug Bagby, but we get what we deserve around Poplar Bluff. Thank God I'm a transplant. I know at least I can move. I recommend that to every other business and citizen that has the ability to do so. And, remember, last one out turn out the light.
