If you are a Trump supporter, I don’t see how you can approve of him lying to the Boy Scouts.


Mayor Longwell: McAdams Park pool had $60,000 operation cost with $30,000 income. Government properties are not profit centers. How much income will the $33-million library generate? I’m tired of politicians blowing smoke to justify their decisions.
