Anytime folks here get together, local politics will usually be the main topic to come up. Most talk about what lousy jobs those in office are doing. There are very few who feel good about the things that are going on.

It is hard to understand this when the answer is so simple — put different people in all the offices.

But when the opportunity comes, folks put the same ones they have been complaining about right back in office. And the same thing goes on and on, because it is the same ones as before.

I am just suggesting we put new people in office and let them know we will dump them on the very first chance if they do not perform properly. There is no way they could do any worse job.
