๐ณ๏ธ ๐๐๐๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐.
The last few days we've had some fun with Earl Allen and his signs.
And it got us thinking...
Forty years later, the signs are gone, but the conversations haven't changed much.
โข The good ol' boys. (shh...don't say it again...we don't want another sales tax...)
โข The same names.
โข The same complaints.
โข The same "somebody should do something."
Not that long ago, we had a special election to fill a seat for about 10 months.
โข We spent the money.
โข We had the debates.
โข We wrote the Facebook novels.
โข We solved every city problem from our recliners.

So before tomorrow's posts about taxes, roads, spending, downtown, growth, annexation, parking, the city council, the mayor, the weather, or whatever we're mad about next week...

Seriously.
You already spent more time reading Facebook comments than it takes to cast a ballot.

Now get off Facebook for 15 minutes and go decide something. ๐ณ๏ธ๐
Tomorrow you can come back and tell everyone what they did wrong.
