I ask you, if you want too vent you should do so with an email to them. They don't get on the blog to find out what we think. Give them your thoughts like you are to all of us. We can cry to each other all we want, it will get us no where. They need to here it!

The building is fine. Most others rebuilt back were they where, but God no, not the fire dept or the library. Good enough for the linn co sheriifs & the CRPD & others.
