If the Federal court house rents, the building will be taxable.

and if it doesn't it won't

The problem, from my perspective, is not so much name recognition as it is straight ticket voters.
This goes for both parties. The voting public is a mass of uninformed and confused people who think their chosen party actually gives a crap about them.
Time and time again, the republic votes to be represented in some form or fashion and at least in my lifetime, has yet to have their ideals represented.

Push to remove the straight ticket to see some change happen, better yet, push for direct democracy and see drastic change happen.

Well I'm a conservative Republican who voted for Gray instead of Charlie, and guess what, I got the same thing

I totally agree however MT and the city have more pork barrel plans. MT would rather spend money on athletic fields and the city wants a stupid trolley.

Why is it so difficult to elect conservative, pragmatic public officials?

because they are politicians not ministers of a Bible stomping (money making) religion.

They should purchase the old motel/hotel site on the otherside of the tracks and build a garage and bridge over to the train station. This would reduce traffic having to loop into the city to find parking and maybe create some sort of transit opportunity development zone along Keller Avenue!! ...and tie it into the new Stockyard development??

Good idea. That hotel could use some help, and there is lots of parking there.

Let's make sure they rent. How can we do it?
