Can't agree more with these comments. We should have sold the electrical system to KPL years ago, and never should have built that stinker of an electric plant. We've got to live with it now, though. The trouble is that if we want to really cut costs, we need to get rid of some employees. I bet we could get along just fine with about a third less people on the payroll.
Quick shop to downtown.... Man, that sounds like a long way to march. I am with you, hello, but maybe we should just start at the fountain downtown and march across the street. Us HD-watching couch potatoes can't waste all our energy just getting there, we need to be able to put up a fight once we arrive. ...See you at 9:00....
Blogg – I don't know about Baker being around longer than 4-5 years. The way they keep mindlessly dumping money they don't have into needless new athletic programs while increasing tuition, laying off critical staff, and reducing education services makes me wonder. I know that's off-topic. Sorry.
Baker is starting a bowling program!?! How retarded. Why is it that the only department not being slashed is athletics? What is the strategy here? How does the administration think they are going to balance the books by starting such worthless programs as bowling and wrestling? I know, let's lay off more staff!
Rob: Sorry I had to be such a smart a$$ about it. I accept your apology, thank you. I obviously speak for the majority of the voters in our community (see the election results) when I say that I supported the school bond, and the efforts of those on the School Board to remain forward thinking and progressive when the vocal minority are slinging arrows. Amy's efforts to promote the improvement of education in our community are completely appropriate, and much appreciated by the silent majority of us who really care about Baldwin's future and the future of our youth. Amy is a smart, well spoken, and energetic leader. She is an asset to the Council and community and she does not deserve to be railed upon and personally attacked. It is idiots like Torch that keep good people from seeking elected offices.
Chill out RobC. Do you read much? Show me where I was critical of Cleavinger.
Since sarcasm isn't your strong point, I will spell it out for you: I was being sarcastic when I suggested that Torch was, in fact, Amy Cleavenger. The joke is centered on the fact that I think Torch has taken his attacks on Amy a little too far, and my suggestion that Torch is actually Amy might be taken as a bit of a jab at Torch.
I know, it's a lot to digest all at once. Sorry about that. Next time I will type slower, just for you, RobC.

City mill levy to go down slightly, but electric rates could soar

60 mph on Hwy 56/ Pros & Cons
60 or 55 makes no difference. I STILL get behind morons doing 45.

I agree with hellothere. Mediacom's high speed internet service is nothing to gripe about, but their COMPLETE lack of HD is inexcusable.

I've got a theory:
Torch is Amy Cleavinger.
