What about Mr. Buck's tax's evasion? Can we hear what the consequences were for that? No one like that should be allowed to serve in public office!
Police and Fire could of been fixed but council went with across the board raise! Now there is no money to correct the problem with out raising taxes or cutting Administration staff.
Council Members Adams and Copple voted for targeted raises which would of solved the problem but was out voted by the rest of the council, so remember that when you go to vote, now and in the future!
