You see average cities all over the state. Prior to the library vote, many pointed toward towns that had voted down bonds for libraries and proudly boasted we should be happy to be just like them and not waste our money on a new library. The people who voted to build Fort Phantom Lake, the old library years ago and many of the projects that make our city as great as it is must have left town. It's just as well. They were probably guilty of crammin' those worthless projects down folks' throats, plotting mysteriously in some dark downtown buildings and trying to put something over on the good folks in town.
Folks nowadays are too sophisticated for that kind of nonsense.
Well, I'm sure that those ornery ol' elitists have gotten the message this time, and they might as well leave the country along with those other visionaries of long ago. E.W. Scripps Publications , All Rights Reserved. Site users are subject to our User Agreement . We also have a Privacy Policy .
