A lovely old woman used to live a few blocks from me across the street from a neighborhood park. After years of working tirelessly to keep the bums from taking over that park, she had finally had enough so she sold her house and moved to Corvallis. 

Our city is so poorly run we are losing our best citizens to nearby cities. While the biggest reason is clearly the incompetence of Jon Ruiz, it is the city council that not only refused to fire him but gives him whopping raises and praise. Someone needs to get those eight folks out of their bubble chamber so they can see the damage they have wrought.
