[RP TownTalk] Change in Government

[andre]

How about someone just list the Pros and Cons for the city of Riverdale for each option?  Status Quo vs the proposed idea?  There is too much back and forth full of back and forth and its just too much.  Maybe someone could put it in layman's terms and try not to get too crazy with opinions. Thanks!

Sarah,
Yes you are correct, you appear to have misunderstood my questions.
Thanks for the PS et al to Audrey. I know as a USG worker, my yearly max
was public information.

Audrey's questions are spot on in my most humble opinion, as are her
observations.

Respectfully,
Bob Smith
