Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 38 and low of 31 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Overcast for the morning, fog overnight.
Disagree with Dillon's assessment of Girbach and relieved that Council voted otherwise regarding appointments.
Denial of maintenance is a bit of a canard.
Girbach and Dillon and many other were under the understanding that the most recent "study" of the feasibility of the Rec Center was exactly that. Instead, they were given a report that was nothing but a "if you build it, they will come" request for money.
Disagree with your assessments. That said, if you believe the process was flawed well . . . . perhaps, again, you should be looking at Girbach as he was involved in the process (don't know what, if any other Council members were).
Why are some of the players bowing their heads?
Why are some wearing different color shoes?
Wondering what happened with Thorncest lawsuits brought against the previous owner and search for contacts with the new owners. Seems there was a court date set in November or December?
