Need reader help

I'd really like to update my local links. If you know of a local business that has a website please let me know and I'll add it to the links section.

Thank you,

What really matters?

Seems from a lot of the comments that people are touchy about the fact the town has junky areas. It's also very apparent that people aren't happy about Mr. Hailey, or Mr. Crews.

What do you think it is going to take to get this town back on the right track? We seem to have an endless set of problems coming from the town office. What causes these problems?

Maintaining the town

The issue of the town needing a maintanance code has come up. I've always been depressed by the blight and poorly kept properties on our main roads. I'm not talking old paint, because paint is an issue that is easy to fix. I'm talking about buildings falling down, junk appliances, trash and other issues that affect our town. The houses that you see coming into the town from 40 over the Falling River are particularly bad.

I see that there are now citizens that want something done about the blight, but my question is: Why did it have to get this far, before something was done?
