It keeps the "inmates" ---- calm-----.

Yep you are probably right. Maybe thats why there are no vendors at the Farmers Market in the Park, they are all afraid. I think you are on to something here. We better get to the bottom of this right away Batman. Twas brillig and the slythy toves and the mome raths outgrabe!

You wrote a complex hard to follow list of conspiratorial accusations. Why the weirdness. Just say what you want to say and stop trying to make it into a mystery novel.

"Is My Hearing aid On"?

Are you suggesting that he discourage his customers from eating. Maybe he should have a contest where customers see how far they can run or lifts weights. A Tommys runnathon where all the customers show up and run away and dont buy anything. Come on ! Really? Good job Tommy, thanks for supporting Colusa .

It is the structure of our country. It is a system that works for the most part. There is no system that will please every individual. Just like every club or organization - the group act for the greater good. Your point about the Clerk and the Treasurer somehow misses the point. The clerk and the treasurer are now elected and have no oversight capabilities over the city council. So how does that help with oversight? The cities of Bell, Vallejo had very different challenges. Could those same things happen to Colusa? Sure they could. What happened to them could happen to any town or city and it has nothing to do with the Clerk or the Treasurer. As for the manager of Colusa . Just know that the law in California and the very complicated union system has made sure that we will always have a manager in Colusa. If the city was better off before you should roll in those memories because that is the long dead past.

By making the City Clerk an appointment it allows a person to invest themselves into the job a stay awhile. We have had much turnover of the people who need to have stability and history for the town to thrive and be stable. Changing this position in this manor will be a step in the right direction. Ranting wildly on the Sun Heard website, while certainly your right, does not help anyone. Just once I would like to see some thoughtful positive ideas in place of pure ranting like a five year old child who wants his binkie.

Tue, 28 Jun 2011 23:05:04 +0000 http://www.colusa-sun-herald.com/news/fireworks-6774-news-announced.html#IDComment167725498 http://www.colusa-sun-herald.com/news/city-6796-park-state.html#IDComment167721900 Letting the state park close would be a tragic mistake. It is an important part of the delicate economy of the City Of Colusa. Every piece is important. Fist is right the state park was a loser for the state. ( I think fist meant to say red in place of black) The state is losing over 100,000 a year out there. Labor is what was killing the state parks numbers. The city does not have the same costs. The cost for the city is less because we already have the structure to take care of parks. I know many are critical of the city's policies, but this park can provide work for city employees that can be charged to the project. The city cannot keep money as profit but it can provide work and pay it out to the employees. Good move Colusa.

You can make it easier for the divers if you set aside the cans for them. Win/Win.

I did not create or help create the world you describe. Nor do I participate in "Want it Now" activities. I do not feel entitled to anything I did not work for. I pay my own way. If the people of this community, who have earned their own way, want to see fireworks on the 4th, then lets Party.

If you think that Tom is grandstanding then just say it. Tom is the Mayor of Colusa. You can like or dislike him that is your choice. But to leave an open ended question like you did doesn't make sense. The fireworks on the 4th of July in Colusa is a big fun event for many people, an event Tom did not want to slip away. He thought it was important to help keep a tradition thats makes Colusa what it is. Grandstanding? Tom did what leaders do. He did what needed to be done. Its simple, and if that is Grandstanding we need a few more Grandstanders and a few less hyper critical couch surfers.

The money was collected for fireworks. All who donated were well aware of that fact. So, are you saying that after the fact the money should be used for something different? You do not make sense.

Do nothing. Dont help. Always critical, flexing your intellect. OH yea and when people are working hard and giving their free time to promote Colusa, drag them down . What a wet blanket.

Who will be next folks, step right up. Step right up and get your picture and name in the paper so the armchair warriors can cut you to the bone. Step right up and get your lashings here, compliments of the Sun Hearld.

Its just an opinion. Government officials dont get an opinion? With that logic the president should never tell another country if there is a market here for their products. Should the City and County tell prospective businesses that they just cant comment on if a business is needed in an area. Come on. If you want a dope dispensary than just say so and cut the twisted logic. It was the newspaper that asked his opinion in the first place.

There are many comments on the appeals site. Funny only two here? Its funny because its a Colusa issue that was mentioned in the paper. All the p***ion about this issue would lead me to believe that the pro dope crowd would want to do something to forward their cause. Yet there was not one person at the city council meeting in favor of the dispensaries. Not one. Not one of your p***ion filled ranters could get it together enough to dust off and come and show your face in favor of this issue that you say is so important. Rant here all you want. Its a waste of time and energy. The council people made the effort to get elected, show up and make decisions. When the mayor asked for public comment there was silence. If you are in favor of a dispensary in Colusa it is your fault that it will never happen here. You did nothing to help your cause. You did not write a letter. You did not show up at the meeting. Just like all the things in your life that you did not do because you were high!
