“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ~Maryanne Williamson

Some very important meetings

Monday
City Council Budget Workshops
noon-4 p.m
Council chambers
*
Thursday
City Council Budget Workshops (continued)
6-10 p.m.
Council chambers.
*
Go and tell the City how you feel about a 6.5% tax rate increase. That is $200 more taxes on property valued at $100,000. What is your property worth? The Board of Education wants a $2 million dollar raise alone. Why can't they trim their fat. Do they really need 14 secretaries at the central office. This will all be in addition to the added expense of the "Magnet Plan", so please remember, you must speak out.
Be heard by your public officials.

Why bother to speak - They don't care what you have to say. Look at what they are doing. We go in and tell them not to sell the land to Wronowski and they are going to approve it tonight. The Eminent domain fiasco, the out cry was to let the property owners stay and they voted to throw them out. I only hope that come the next election the folks of NL will remember what they keep doing and vote those scoundrals right out of office.
