ANNOUNCEMENT: If you relied on the pamphlet paid for by the Chamber of Commerce and voted for the bond based on the representation that South Park would not be torn down and will be willing to testify, like Jerry White did during the Hearing, and had you known that South Park would be scheduled to be torn down, you would never have voted for the bond -- then please send your name and phone number to Mike Getz' office or me ([email protected]) and I will forward it to him.

UPDATED: August 5 morning paper articles/Opinions. Also announcement of Special Board Meeting. Also another bold blog by Mr. Klein called "Liar" -- great stuff, including, he said, "Oh...one other fun fact.
