Intowners and the media have "Something" To Say...




Mr. Langford's "Something" has begun. The inaugurations have been done, tax proposals made, job cuts been suggested. Intowners and the press have "something" to say: Mostly it's "We don't like it."

Randomly overheard (and paraphrased) comments heard over the past few weeks:

'I like the free computers for school children program. Too many kids graduate
with no skills."

'I don't understand why Larry went about asking for this tax increase without
going to the people first. Everybody knows we the city will need more money
to do the things we need to do. We need to be raise property taxes because
they're too low.'

Much of the press is negative:
John Archibald: Langford takes city to La-La land

Kyle Whitmire: "The Loquacious Larry Langford"

Things have begun to happen in the city that were held up by the previous administration. Kyle Whitmire calls our new mayor Leapin' Larry. He's jumping for sure and the rest of us are waiting on the second foot to drop.
