CS citizens, Unite! Tea party at city hall!

I've been predicting this for years... CS would escalate to a point as to be unsustainable in its current configuration. I don't know whether we will see full implosion, but it's pretty damn likely.

CS citizens, time to take back your city!! Now, before it's too late. The Red Light Camera debacle really started it all. The proletariat had forgotten that in fact THEY are the ones who are in charge, THEY are the ones who pay the bills, so THEY should decide what happens in THEIR city. Yes! A constitutional democracy gives you a voice and gives you the right to select your leaders.

Well, that's all the Wellborigines really want, a chance to vote.

I am thinking that most folks in this country are sick and tired of being pushed around by politicians who don't really give a fig about them, even though they always say, it's for the people, it's the right thing to do.... Sounds like a bunch of Pelosi to me...

So,  CS-- really--- wake up and smell the garbage. Open your mouth and make words come out. Direct them at your city council. Tell them what you want. Tell them that you expect them to do what you want. Keep on them. Funny how they act and the decisions they make, because I have never heard a CS resident come forth and say:

• I want to sue my neighbors. I want to sue Bryan, Wellborn, Brushy and more! I think this is a good use of my tax dollars, the court system, and other people's money too.
• Trees on University and Hwy 6 make so much sense. I'd rather have trees than a fire station.
• Wellborn Water should give us their water lines. We shouldn't have to pay. If it wasn't for CS, Wellborn wouldn't exist! Too bad they owe money on the construction of those lines, but they will have to suck it up.
• CS Utilities needs more exposure so that folks will realize they are a good value. Let's use revenue from the electric bills to sponsor concerts in the park! That way, more folks will use CS Utilities. 
• I am glad that CS never developed its own sources of water and electricity. It show how green we are. This way, no one can say we are polluting the planet by making electricity or depleting an aquifer! It costs our residents more, but we are happy to pay more so we can pretend we are green.
• A gazillion-dollar skate park sounds like a great idea, too. That way, it will be easier for teens and young adults to get some exercise in a safe environment where the mommies and daddies can be sure it's safe.
• We don't need more police. Sure the city got bigger, but it's a safe city. Plus, if they have time to write tickets, they obviously don't have any crime to fight!
• I'm glad all of our council members are selected at large. That way they are collectively responsible and the council members don't have to be selected from my neighborhood. The council also aren't directly responsible to a particular section of the city. This frees up their votes.
• I think a convention center is a great idea. We need one because, well, because!

But I digress. Some folks think the Wellborn folk have been too pushy, too demanding. Well, we have just been advocating for what is ours, for the land we paid for. WE are not trying to take away anything from our friends in CS, but I think the CS city council will be trying to take away OUR things. Remember, one of the stated reasons to quash the vote in Wellborn that they publicly stated is that if we vote to incorporate, it will prevent them from taxing us to pay for their mistakes! "Loss of future tax Revenue" is how they phrased it. Pretty bold, but I've blogged on that before.

Go outside and scream. Then go email or write your city council. Please.  It's not just Wellborn in danger any more, it's the good folks in CS as well.
