(Do I have to advise the city on everything?) Learn from the private sector. Build a combination Taco Bell & Fire Station.. Taco bell & KFC have been doing it for a few years. Look at the cost savings, one manager instead of two. When the fire fighters aren't on call they can make up the lower pay by making a little cash working at the Taco Bell. Increased sales as kids & kids at heart will love having a real fireman at the drive up window...

My friend & I decided that we needed to change the dress code. So we wore a bright orange tee shirts with matching pants.. Needless to say we were both booted out of school for the rest of the week. It took a few more years for the dress code to relax & allow jeans & shirts without collars...

If the kiddies who are caught attempting to purchase alcohol were given, say a $1,500.00 fine that would put a big damper on it. And if the bartender was to get, say $50.00 bounty out of the fine for catching them you would see under age drinking in bars take a nose dive.. Those committing the crime should pay the fine!!!

The TV commercials just beg for one to be made. High tax Terry has TV ads touting a 25% pay raise for all Iowans? I really do not believe this can happen.. What will happen is that taxes will go up requardless of who is elected. Terry will raise them a little higher than Chet will...
