• Something else we will have to come to Cape for.

• Fine by me, I live in the county. Besides when we celebrate our "independence" we do it with items manufactured in China while waving a flag that says made in China.

• were the citizens of Jackson notified that this was going to be discussed/voted on? I never heard anything about. Makes you wonder what our ELECTED board of alderman were trying to hide. Don't the people of Jackson have a right to voice their opinions on this before it is voted on?

  Well I was hoping it wasn't true, but here is the link. We as residents of Jackson still have the opportunity to let our voices be heard.

  A link to the comments section for Jackson:

  http://www.jacksonmo.org/contact%20us.aspx

  or you may contact your aldermen:

  Ward1: Phil Penzel (supported ban)

  Curt Poole

  Ward2: David Hitt (supported ban)

  David Reiminger

  Ward3: Mark Dambach (against ban)

  Ward4: Joe Bob Baker (against ban)

  Dale Rauh (supported ban)

  It seems like I missed one.

  The article said it still must be written into formal ordinance repealing the current code.

• I sure would like to see the reasoning they used for deciding to bring up the ban. Injuries? Fires? Complaints? Why was this such a rush?

• Larry Cuntingham says it's a safety issue but had no figures to back it up.

• Birds of a feather fly together- Gerald Jones and Larry cunningham are very good friends and their leadership style is clearly the same. Hopefully some one will stand up to Cunningham and put an end to his bullying.

• Have another one, Larry!

• So they took down Rudy's story now.

  The newspaper bowed to pressure from the Jackson City Council?

  This is the most talked about story in the area this week.

• Red Devil, luckily I pasted it in a earlier post. Thanks for the pic, it wasn't the same man I was thinking of.

  -- Posted by Turnip on Tue, Jul 7, 2009, at 11:19 PM

• Can you believe they've taken Rudy's article down?

  -- Posted by Red Devil on Tue, Jul 7, 2009, at 11:21 PM

• It doesn't even show up as the most viewed article.

  -- Posted by Red Devil on Tue, Jul 7, 2009, at 11:23 PM

• Phil Penzel has changed his mind and is going to do the right thing.

  Dale Rauh, Larry Cunningham, Dave Hitt, let everyone hear from you.
