From the west we have the old Atlas mill pile of steel junk. Then the old pole plant just east of Coleman. Then the Drain Brothers wasteland across from the old hospital/CLC. (They agreed with old buddy Mator Irwin to build a fence to hide the mess, but didnt say when they would build it). Then there is the Wakaluk mess on the east entrance to Bellevue, which competes with Drain for clutter. Guess one could add the River Run slack pile mess to this. Others can add the rest of the eyesores <br /><br />Now instead of the Peace Officers trying to justify their existence and keep fining traffic "offenders" to build up their own budget deficit, one would think that they would do something about the other local messes. They may have hit up few property mess offenders but they are just too busy on traffic patrol to do what they were hired for. Have to keep the mayors deficits spending in check..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170383155508070340.post-5004446843971339772013-08-25T20:57:14.550-06:002013-08-25T20:57:14.550-06:003:58,

The local followers on the council have rolled over, leaving an open field. The Administration has bought off, scared off or purged anyone who disagrees with their program. <br /><br />If any of these people are re-elected in October, write the Pass off.
