I was pleased to see that the city council has decided to rethink the purchase of the Morning Sentinel building.

In these economic times, it would be a better choice, especially since the price has been lowered. It will give the city a very nice police station at a much reduced cost and a better chance that spring floods will not affect them.

Now, let’s have a quick discussion, and then let’s roll up our sleeves and make it happen. After two years of talking, it’s time to act on it.
