I shall convey them to her. <br /><br />Pam did mention that she had met a very charming and lovely woman that had recently realized our connection. This must be you!<br /><br />Pam added, she was gladdened that you had called her by her name as she is usually referred to as the poor lady with the overly alliterative loquacious lame-ass'd liege.GaryRayBetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10216572054206010981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-13976244531197311282011-11-09T12:30:23.865-05:002011-11-09T12:30:23.865-05:00My closing remarks on the matter:

These instruments were improperly crafted and drafted with the sole purpose of purchasing and eliminating the apartments along Peachtree Industrial.<br /><br />We should continue to watch the Council and the Mayor as they will undoubtedly try to enact a TAD or some other such instrument prior to leaving office. The referendum item that was approved is deceptively innocent in appearance, but it gives significant latitude to the City Manager and the Council to enter into bond deals without the vote or consent of the people.<br /><br />Let's see what happens.Chiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330185723991647590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-52272657972354238422011-11-09T12:28:44.140-05:002011-11-09T12:28:44.140-05:00GaryRayBetz - I totally agree with you.

I appreciate that there are forums like this where ideas and opinions can be expressed so openly. Thanks John H.! But can you all exchange private emails and talk amongst yourselves? Election day has come and gone and the bonds issue has been decided by the voters. I hope we can all move on.
