Did all the food go to the troops serving our country? If so I’m okay with them getting great meals.
If a bunch of pentagon bureaucrats ate that food or meals for contractors, I’m not good with it

Did you forget to switch accounts? I often suspected people create arguments and play both sides with multiple accounts

It may appear that they are just driving along, but 95% of all calls for service are code 1 or 2 which is no lights or siren. Officers get down numerous reports especially during day time. So they may be on their way to a call or to type reports.
Previous administration killed morale as well

Japan
Australia
Venezuela
Poland
Mexico (they need us the most)

It also depends on who we are fighting. That list could drastically change if it was EU then I would put Russia 1st

I'm a St Georgian so I don't really have a dog in it, but I'm surprised Sid doesn't blame Broome more. The fact he's just putting it all on himself tells me a few things:

---

If you ever met the man, he doesn’t make excuses or blame others.
Even Kip in his best year had others work out the details to his agenda. Walter Monsoir was the architect to his 1st term if I’m remembering correctly.

Coach threw out a plan, people said no, now he’s working on a different plan. He didn’t point fingers, just got back on task. People didn’t want to pass taxes, he respected that.

From what I hear from my parents and friends still living in BR, Sid Edwards has been nothing short of a huge disappointment

---

He attempted a huge shift in taxes which would have allowed him to put money toward public safety and infrastructure, but it was voted down. This tax was backed by everyone, but the voters.

Broom signed a ton of contracts that he got stuck with.

Cant expect much if you aren’t willing to back him when he asks for something.

I haven’t followed Tech. There resume is garbage, but I can’t imagine any team would fair better turning it over 4 times.

I think it speaks more to Oregon not being able to move the ball. 3 field goals and a touchdown.

If tech had no turnovers or even 2 would Oregon still win?

This reminds me of an old post that starts with a guy flicking peanuts.

Is that you hammertime? you ole knuckle checker, you.

Longhorns (maybe). I do think they're the only school in the conference that could find real success as an independent.

I think Alabama would have better success as an independent. They have been a consistent national brand for multiple generations. Love em or hate em, you watch and cheer for or against them.

Texas is not on the same level.

Alabama vs Penn St
Texas vs Penn St
I would rather bama

Alabama vs Miami
Texas vs Miami

Alabama vs USC
Texas vs USC

The pattern here is one looks like a historically good matchup, the other looks like Texas playing someone.

Btw I hate Alabama

How much money in sales tax does the city parish reap off the parades running downtown?

---

State gets 5% city gets the rest. None goes directly to the police budget so the department relies on the mayor to reimburse out of the general fund for these events.

I question the financial impact local events truly have when food is tax exempt. Even if a parade brings 5 million that’s still only 250k in local tax and I would guess that half that 5 million would be food so now your at 125k When you put 75k for police overtime it’s 50k Not sure DPWs clean up fee.

But as far as the city goes it’s probably a financial push.
The benefit really goes to local merchants who profit off selling the food, gas, hotel rooms etc. also having and keeping traditions is important.

I’m sure a go fund me could raise the fees to pay for security if they went that route.
