A new week, but lots of unresolved issues in our community:  Election challenge, NIC lawsuit, LCDC, County Commissioners races, upcoming Primary elections, McEuen Field plans, and so much more…  What’s on your mind as we start into what’s left of April?

It’s been a busy week of Taxes, Tea Parties and our President joining others to mock and ridicule the citizens who attended.  Any questions or comments about these or other issues?

Election questions, Voters taking legal action, Tea Party rallies…Sounds like people have something to say!  Do you have any comments, ideas or   questions on these or any other topics?

We can start out this Easter weekend with good news on the local justice scene.  Judge Simpson ruled yesterday that the bond required to go forward with legal challenge to last November’s election, was reduced from the ridiculous level of $40,000 down to the still substantial but much more reasonable amount of $5,000.  We believe there’s spiritual hope in the world but maybe this turn of events shows there’s hope for fairness and justice as well!  Any comments, questions or ideas on this or any other subject?

Any ideas, comments or questions as we start into the weekend?

If you want to get attention in CdA, just mention “thong man!” He was the legendary character who frequented city beaches dressed in only a thong, and I don’t mean on his feet.  Did you ever see him? What did the city ever do about Thong Man– Did they pass a law banning that style of swimwear, or did they let him go his own way?

Now Stebbijo is connecting thong man with some current city council folks…not an image I can appreciate.  What’s the most outrageous thing you’ve seen or heard lately in CdA?

Did you enjoy the Super Bowl?  I don’t ususally watch the whole thing, but I did yesterday.  It was a great game!  The commercials are usually the best part, for me, but this  year I was disturbed by one of them.  Did you see the Audi car commercial about the “Green Police”?  What kind of statement were they making about our future?  Was is sarcastic, because I didn’t think so, or was it predictive?  Click HERE to see it.

PLEASE don’t forget the fundraiser for Jim Brannon’s legal challenge, this evening at 5:00 at Greenbriar.

Any other thoughts to start out this week?

What a beautiful view of CdA Lake in winter.  We have national election impacts, County comprehensive plan efforts and local tax questions as possible items to discuss.  Who wants to go first?  Any ideas?

It’s almost Tuesday after a last week and weekend full of local news.  NIC fires its Workforce Training Chief, local business guy Adam Johnson is out of jail and all charges of shooting / attempted murder are dropped, Christie Woods is still the Police Dept Public Info Officer and NIC Trustee Chair.

Any comments, questions or ideas?

We’re fully into the New Year now, no turning back!  As we forge ahead, what’s on your mind?  You did such a good job of evaluating the big stories of ‘o9, what will be the first big public issue of 2010?
