Well what’s new for a City that is known for its dirty political games! Cornwell did nothing to improve the City… wouldn’t even enforce the codes that legal that govern The City! It took me 3 years just to try and enforce and put signs up to address the on-going problem with loud mini-bikes, etc. The constant message to the Taxpayers, “get back with you later!”. With a new Councilperson coming aboard and a former City attorney backing her, Let the political games begin, once again, taxpayers!
Leadership…fail Leadership…fail
Once again!!
Leadership????
