You write extremely well. You have the courage and integrity to express your views, and that is appreciated by all of us. I am sure there was no intention for anybody, Jeffery or myself, to be offensive. There is no need to be anonymous. Nobody is…

Please give us the numbers on the average school absentee rate, and the absentee rate on the day of the speech. That would give us an idea as to the size of the problem.

Where were you for the past 8 years? The Bush admin inherited a small budgetary surplus, and turned that into the biggest budget deficit in history. All this $$trillions wasted in Iraq and Afghanistan could have paid for healthcare reform 5 times…

Healthcare Reform & Charges of Nazism... What a shame

Posted on August 14, 2009 at 2:22pm 0 Comments

Whipped up into a frenzy by Rush Limbaugh and other politicians, hordes of misguided and misled Americans are comparing healthcare reform to the holocaust and euthanasia practiced by the Nazis.



What a shame.



Whether you agree with reform or not; this is not the American way.



The Democratic party is alleging that the republican party is using these methods to try and revive the party from it's near death experience after the disastrous Bush… Continue

MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACKING. An introspective look back to the Bush Years.

Posted on July 30, 2009 at 2:30pm 0 Comments

Of all the erroneous decisions that George Bush made in his eight years, his most disastrous decision was to make Colin Powel the Secretary of State. I respect and like Colin; but his military background and training was not appropriate for this job.





One of the most important aspects of military life is to follow orders. Every Nation expects her soldiers to follow orders, and drills that concept into the their minds; because when a soldier refuses to follow orders he ceases to… Continue

Response from Barbara Denny

Hello, Jim.

It was my pleasure to speak with you earlier today regarding this matter.

It was also my pleasure to be able to serve you as your elected representative.

As you know, I contacted our City Staff who took care of the abandoned lot earlier this week. So that problem was solved by our excellent City Staff.

Regarding the remaining problem, the port-a-potty on "E" Avenue, this is the subject of an open code violation case. As such, our City Staff plans to stay on top of this case until it is concluded.

Kindly contact me any time. I want to know what's on your mind.

Again, it was my pleasure to be of service to you.

Yours,
Barbara
