What has peeved me greatly about the high oil prices is that (yes a tired but ever true line) those who hate us the most are profiting from our pain and laughing as they do it. Iran, Chavez, OPEC, Russia and the like have raked in the dough like never before.

I grew up in a southern town where we had a local ice rink open during the winter months and my friends and I really enjoyed it. Though the facility is a lot nicer, the Kedron hockey rink has always reminded me of my hometown ice rink and I've occasionally wondered what it would take, should PTC citizens be willing, to support seasonal ice skating at Kedron. But all of the lamentations I've heard about the lack of an ice rink here have been limited to those in my own head, so I've never brought it up.

Borrowing $7M to upgrade the sports fields ($4M) and Gathering Place ($2.88M) is not the best use of our money – the benefit enjoyed from the upgrades hits far too small of an audience. Listed with other projects I do not believe PTC citizens would rank these at the top. When you vote, consider the big picture, not just the merits of the individual projects. You’re repaying these loans after all – are these the best places to invest your money in the city’s future?

Who’s bright idea is it to keep building new strip malls while others are nearly vacant? Do Fayetteville residents take no pride in their city – why do they allow its continued degradation?
