There are a number of us who think we should erect life-like statues of each council member so that we can forever remember the decades that they were elected unopposed, and the mindless spending that they provided each of us. The public works, and police and fire departments have these people in the palm of their hands, like putty. I give them credit because they do it well. Without these council members, it would be so calm and peaceful with our money being spent wisely instead of the dreaded pet projects they dream up.
