Bass-Ackward.

Shouldn't the most local levels of government be the most democratic? I've done a little checking and not only do fourth-class cities in Missouri have no recall process, but it's looking like they don't have a petition process, either.

At least, that's my impression. I've got an email in to the Missouri Municipal League to confirm this, but it's not looking good.

So, to be able to directly participate in democracy, we have to upgrade to a third-class city status, which would give the city MORE power to do such things as exercise eminent domain?

Let's just think about that a moment. To be a democracy, we have to give more power to the government and take more power away from the individual.

Welcome to the U.S.S.A.

Why do we need a Thayer Taxpayers' Association?

Because tax hikes are not 'community betterment!'

Hopefully . . .

. . . this will someday be the homepage of the Thayer Taxpayers' Association.
