Floresville
December 28, 2011 5:24am
I think I am correct in stating we are all pretty fed up with the way our govenment is wasting our tax dollars - the frustration and intimidation we experience from this corruption. We are left feeling exhausted and powerless. Some of you that read this have - in the past - tried to talk to our local governments - and got a lot of double talk and sent away. ... We don't want too get to side ways with our local govenment because we fear retaliation. This is in the past. We have a new time and day - (right now) we have forces in place where we don't have to be so scared of speaking up.
So, now is the time to come together and take back our local govenment.
All the information will be laid out in black and white. Questions will be answered - real answers that make sense.
If you are a citizen of Floresville - you must make it a priority to come and take a look at the budgets. What you will see is the city budget. Their numbers. See for yourself the numbers.
These six members of the city council and the mayor are spending our tax dollar - hand over fist - hiring lawyers and PR firms. and it is AGAINST THE TAXPAYERS. By the way - they have spent all this money covering their back sides before the petition is even filed.
The problem with corruption is it just escalates to new heights. The longer it goes unchecked - the bolder and slopper that person or entity gets. I believe this council has reached this point. What they say (guided by the PR firm, paid by the taxpayers of Floresville) sounds like a bunch of political mush mouth - important and authoritative words strung together. Does not even address the questions being asked.
This budget problem is in black and white. The great thing about numbers are - there is always an answer that is correct. It is always a simple and straight forward. In fact - the truth is always simple.
This is not an Einstein equation - it is simple math and logical thinking.
As Franklin D Roosevelt said "Repetition does not transform a lie into truth."
