I'm glad to see these elected officials are doing the job we sent them to Des Moines to do.

They couldn't remember it ever happening.There's always one reason or another to extend and extend and extend everything. They tell us that a certain tax will only last so long just as a sales pitch. Truth is, once a community gets used to spending that additional revenue, they never want to give it up. At what point do we actually take back our government? Voting NO seems like a start to me...
