This will be one to watch. Lots of hot air....not much substance from what I can tell.
This should be an interesting discussion. This state statute needs to be reviewed and possibly amended to eliminate some of the abuses that have occurred in Springfield and other communities around Missouri.
I will be there to listen and comment.
It seems rather consistent that anonymous commenters are loose with their insults and plentiful with their disparagements.
Maybe you should show up, be a good citizen and weigh in on the matter.
I have no excuse for not showing up as it's merely blocks from my house. I'm looking forward to it.
Thanks to Jackie for telling about it.
Thanks for your comment, Jeremy.
It does seem a bit unreasonable to pre-judge the townhall, as Anon 8:00 did, pronouncing it to be without much substance and a lot of hot air before the meeeting has even been held, doesn't it?
Whatever. I'm going to try to attend this one, myself, as I think there are very valid arguments made both for and against CIDs. It's a very philosophical discussion at its core.
What Jeremy and Jackie said!
