City Council members make $30,742/year. There are seven of them. County Commissioners make $88,919/year. There are seven of them, too. For $837,627 each year, this is what you get:
Your City Council passed an ordinance today requiring bar owners to comply with more stringent noise rules, that come with a stricter penalty. In a neighborhood they sell to travelers as an Entertainment District.
Meanwhile, down the street at the County building, your County Commissioners voted Wednesday to take an outrageously expensive poll. On the ballot this November, you will see a referendum asking if you think adult businesses should be illegal. The Supreme Court has already said nude dancing is protected by free speech, so this amounts to nothing more than a very expensive opinion poll.

Would they have to display their licenses like cab drivers do?

Say what!!! County commissioners make that much money yet they still have their hand out for every freebie they can get, whether it’s Bucs/Super Bowl tickets or a $40-mil sports park? I’m thinking about running for office now, not that I think I’m all that but I’m still smarter than the ones we got now, even after a six-pack of PBR.

Well, praise Jeeeeesus. I am so grateful that my evangelical BOCC has decided to protect me from those vile and dispicable nekkid ladies and after they spent so much effort protecting me from Gay authors. I feel so much cleaner now.
