Thank you, Mayor Chris Pippenger, for clearing up the confusion. We here in Frankfort were under the understanding that two million dollars was an accumulated amount from years of "borrowed money," due to poor accounting at the hands of the former clerk treasurer. We had no idea that the culprit to this problem was the purchase of five needed police cars (especially considering you took one for yourself to use "because you're the Mayor") and recently purchased outdated communications equipment for them. We had no idea we had too many police and firemen (though they don't seem to think so), and not enough Parks Department staff-seeing as how you didn't put a freeze on them, and recently hired more. Also, thank you for your choice of wording on public television. You make us so proud.

maybe the debt problem comes from supporting the 10,000 mexican immigrants that hang around town. frankfort just seems to keep on collecting more and more. go ahead keep feeding them and letting them live like ants in a one room apartment. i bet the debt can hit 10 million soon.

Don't forget, half of them are carrying anchor babies so that number will be 15,000, then 20, 25, etc, etc.

The people who hire them like Hoosier Square Insulation, Zachary Confections, are partially responsible for them coming here. Not to mention Susan Tharp and the Learning Network who actually promote them to come here. The Learning Network gives these illegals training on how to get free social services at the cost of us the tax payers. What does Susan Tharp get out of it? She got paid over $110,000 last year for her work. This is factual and the info is available on line and at the Frankfort Courthouse.

Just follow the money. A few so called elite people in town making the big bucks while everyone else suffers from it.
