HEAT WAVE - We hope everyone helps take care of each other during our 100 year weather temps.  WHEW!  Hot!  Hot!  Hot!

HEALTHCARE - It's hard to teach this old dog new tricks.  After great study, and listening to John Yarmouth explain how our new healthcare is NOT going to hurt small businesses, etc., I'm looking forward to seeing how this new plan will work for me and mine.  We have no insurance after working under contract for 30 + years.  (Unlike Mr. Gibson, who is contractural and still manages to get free healthcare.)  I've never understood why Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid and other social programs did not have to go before the Supreme Court unlike our National Healthcare plan.  (Yes, we understand A LOT of people reading this may not agree - more power to you!)

SEPARATION OF THE DEPARTMENT FUNDS FOR CITY GOVERNMENT - We have waited over 20 years for this to happen.  Our only worry?  Will Gahan Veto the Council's vote?  5 - 4 split - some Council members agreed with Gahan.

PARKS DEPARTMENT AND COUNTY GOVERNMENT - First, you took Camille Wright w/ the pool (which could really be used right now) from City residents.  We suspect an option has been given to Bobo for the amphitheatre and there is talk the County wants to sell Community Park.  What are you leaving for the City residents?  NO - Bush - we do not want City and County government merged.  We wouldn't wish the City's debt on our worse enemy!!!  You may find nothing will polarize County voters more than you expressing the desire for same. 

Nothing important here.  It's too hot to jaw around for long!!!!
