CITY MANAGER OF TOPEKA KANSAS INTERVIEW:

My interview with our city manager, Norton Bonaparte, went very well.

I wanted to ask Norton the questions most everyone else is asking,

“Why do we need our taxes raised?”

The chopper interview can be done by the mainstream media at another time. I noticed that the cameras were rolling.

I will now post this to my public blog.

Might as well admit it, Myron. We're all screwed. Cities, Counties, and States all over the country are having this exact same conversation.

As more and more people lose their jobs, they are buying less and less all the time. This translates into less tax revenue for the government to spend.

People think of me as hard hearted because I believe there are a hell of a lot of services we could cut back on. TPAC for instance. Liberals whine and cry that we owe it to the community to support the arts. Bull! If TPAC's such a big deal in Topeka, let the people who enjoy this sort of thing support it.

Raise admission to things like the zoo. Raise rates to ride the bus. If you use it, pay for it.

Raise rates at the public swimming pools. Start charging admission to use the local youth centers. It doesn't have to be much. But people gotta understand there is a cost to keeping the places open.

Anyway, I'm rambling on again. But come on, working people like myself are pretty much at a breaking point when it comes to taxes.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona

Subject: SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN! To: Others should take heed of the effectiveness of Sheriff Joe. If this type response to crime were adopted, believe the crime rate would drop like a rock; our taxes would be much lower; the Fed budget could probably be balanced in no time flat! Subject: SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN! You all remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona , who painted the jail cells pink and made the inmates wear pink prison garb. Well.......... SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN! Oh, there's MUCH more to know about Sheriff Joe! Maricopa County was spending approx. $18 million dollars a year on stray animals, like cats and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to take the department over, and the County Supervisors said okay. The animal shelters are now all staffed and operated by prisoners. They feed and care for the strays. Every animal in his care is taken out and walked twice daily. He now has prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition and behavior. They give great classes for anyo...

Distant Land arr. John Rutter

7/4/2009 9:11:13 PM DISTANT LAND arr. John rutter Earlier today Sally and I sang in the community choir here in Topeka KS The following are the words to this most beautiful song: I see a distant land: it shines so clear. Sometimes it seems so far, sometimes so near. Come, join together, take the dusty road; Help one another: share the heavy load. The journey may be long: no end in sight; There may be hills to climb, or giants to fight: But if you’ll take my hand, we’ll walk together t’ward the land of freedom. I hear the distant son: it fills the air. I hear it, deep and strong, rise up in prayer: O Lord, we are many; help us to be one. Heal our divisions: Let thy will be done. I know the time will come when war must cease: A time of truth and love, a time of peace. The people cry, ‘How long till all the world can join the song of freedom.’ I touch a distant hand and feel its glow, the hand I hoped was there: at last I know. Swords into ploughshares: can it all come ...
