WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, CHILD?

Does not the federal constitution give people the right to speak their minds. Is not that what democracy is all about? As a council member for the city of Frisco, are you not interested in what the opinions of your constituents are? Are you tell all of us you represent that you don't care what we think???? I WILL REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU RERUN FOR COUNCIL NEXT YEAR

Where do you come off talking down to we voters as if we don't have the sense to come in out of the rain. We elected you to represent us, not take the attitude you are above us, and therefore your vote as you see fit, whether it is a vote your constituents want or not. You are definitely creating an image for yourself of an arrogant little girl who doesn't give a damn about anyone else.

Your voters will remember this next year. We will also remember who contributed to your campaign; the mayor's husband and John Wayne Andrews, to name but a few.
