Colorado Springs mayor cleared in ethics probe of USOC construction contract

WELL ISN'T THAT A SURPRISE!!! I GUESS THAT WHEN YOU ARE A POLITICAL FIGURE THAT MEANS THAT YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS CITY AND GET AWAY WITH IT. I'VE LIVED IN JUST ABOUT EVERY PART OF THIS COUNTRY AND IT IS THE SAME NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO. THE LITTLE PEOPLE ALWAYS SEEM TO HAVE TO SUPPORT WHAT THE BIG PEOPLE WANT OR NEED. I THOUGHT THAT IF SOMETHING WAS SUPPOSED TO COST THE TAXPAYERS IN THIS COUNTRY THAT THEY SHOULD BE ASKED IF THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT. AT LEAST WHEN I DID MY TIME IN THE MILITARY I THOUGHT THAT WAS HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO WORK. IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT, THAT'S WHY THIS NATION WAS STARTED. IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH [OH, WHAT WAS IT?] TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!!!!! I GUESS THAT'S OKAY SEEING AS THE GOLDEN RULE APPLYS. HE WHO HAS THE GOLD MAKES THE RULES. SO CITY COUNCIL REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN BE REPLACED. MAYBE SOME FRESH BLOOD-POOR PEOPLE-WILL THINK BEFORE THEY COMMIT TO SPENDING SOMETHING THAT THEY DON'T HAVE. HAVE A GREAT DAY AND REMEMBER THAT THE GREAT SPIRIT IS WATCHING
