The Cargill plant would drown out the music. Other than that, a great idea.

We should forever thank him for that. Being the first manager for a new form of government is an impossible enough job without having to deal with a flood like we had. Good job Jim, you have nothing to apologize for.

Next door was Clinton, which did. For some reason I had several friends that were dentists. They all said that as soon as a kid opened their mouth they could tell where they lived. The Camanche kids were lousy with cavaties. This has been settled years ago.

Good for him.

Police, Politicians and Prostitutes. This story has two of three.

You can't hardly spend that much money for a building. They could probably rent for $10/sq ft. Building the new floor makes no sense.

However, he has had two years as defacto Mayor to prove his leadership abilities and come up wanting. Corbett can provide some leadership.
