Oh brother. We just lost another business (Hobbs) the only route into town has an abandoned gas station to one side and a broken down motel on the other. We are getting taken over by public aid people from up north our streets are garbage, our taxes are high and there is no where to park down town on Friday or Saturday nights. But lets put some effort in to a trolley. Who voted for this guy?

Why is this area so hung up on tourism? What about JOBS for the people that live in this area. Our schools have over 50% kids that are on reduced or free lunch, jobs are nowhere to be found but, A "trolley on rubber wheels", run by volunteers will go over real well MAYOR BANKS when it is 40 below ZERO!!!!!!!!! How in the hell was this man elected? The downtown area is so filthy and empty it is horrible. And our mayors great idea is to have a trolley? And the other area mayors are excited and want to jump in on this idea? No wonder this area is going downhill!!
ANOTHER GREAT IDEA BY MAYOR BANKS!!
Just get in your boat, have a few beers and go fishing mayor Banks!! Maybe th trolley can get you down to Barto landing!!!!!!!!!!

Daily Horoscope for January 4

Leo

Even though you usually pride yourself on being the strong silent type, love has a way of unlocking your tongue. The words coming out of your mouth may be familiar, but your sense of timing makes all the difference right now. Keep in mind that you never know how a risky gesture will work out, although you can always hope for the best. When in doubt, take the more cautious path.
