I really agree with their getting settled in ( with excellent people working for them) and they forget about doing the work. With internet these days I doubt that so many employee's are needed.

okay, thats a few, and i am certain i can think of more. Well, lets see here Number 1 has nothing to do with the mayor. Number 2 again has nothing to do with the mayor. Number 3 I suppose could be credited to the mayor since the city or its residents don't really need that 2 million dollars elsewhere( sarcasm). Number 4 surely benefits those of us who live here( again sarcasm) Number 5 I am not sure if he has anything to do with that or not. Number 6 had nothing to do with they mayor. Number 7, he did no such thing, gas prices are not detyermined by the mayor. Number 8 has nothing to do with they mayor. Number 9 I would have to see proof of, I don't believe you. Number 10 was a good idea. Number 11 was a good idea, but I am sure the savings were negligible. Number 12 is godd, but would offset any saving achieved by the above 2. Number 13 is simply not true. Number 14, ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? Number 15, so what? Number 16 is a good thing. Number 17, I guess it is ok, doesn't really make a big difference in the lives of people who live here. His accomplishments are few and far between and not really anything to speak of.

Number 17, I guess it is ok, doesn't really make a big difference in the lives of people who live here.
His accomplishments are few and far between and not really anything to speak of. All of these are directly attributed to the mayor. How you think they get done. You are also very wrong about the gas prices, it was just in the paper they renegotiated the management fee and went with another supplier for gas saving money for the customers. My gas bill was 32% lower than last years.Keep up the great work Mayor Holden.

Bet the road crew didn't have enough asphalt to repair the street. Should have thrown his a$$ in there and covered him up. Snow Patrol, The children shot was uncalled for. If you want to beat up on John he is a big boy and I am sure that he can handle anything dished out here, but the kids have nothing to do with his duties.

What was not true in my post? Well you have yet to prove any court cases in Dyer County that were charged in libel cases. You keep dishing all this information with nothing to back it up. I didn't say anything about it not being true...we're still waiting on proof!
