anony 11:55, I'd forgotton about that! Pat Cannon probably was hoping you forgot it too? Otherwise I like the choices. The city council is ok for the most part with the exception of one. The commissioners get on my nerves.

Mr. Foxx just endorsed a woman that DSS has investigated for child abuse. Alleged Child abusers come in all shapes, sizes and social economic backgrounds. Mr. Foxx should consult with his wife before grinning with some of the predators in the community. Mrs. Foxx is the smart/commonsense one. I don’t think she (Mrs. Foxx) would be duped.
