RAMSEY - Sakry of ABC posts online info about the Ramsey council candidates facing the primary.

This link. My how concern over roads awakens in an election season, perhaps even preempting an "ax to tax" mentality among some who view government's mainfest destiny as land speculation, staff shrinkage, and rebranding.

The road thing is interesting. My recollection is in times past the city was acquiring land along Highway 10, in a process named for no reason I know of, "mapping." The aim was to promote a sooner than later highway buildout to alleviate traffic snarls.

Feel like a million?
Priorities change. "Mapping" seems to have been put on hold while buying land to promote against private sector competition has blossomed. That includes creating one who, to my knowledge, is Ramsey's first million dollar consultant.

Don't you wish there were a million dollar productivity record to go with that?

Oh well, at least only one council member has seen fit to install a spouse in a job in a trailer on a project subsidized by council and brought to fruition by the million dollar man. One out of seven is not too bad. Below twenty percent.
