Mayor Brewer is going to drive the City into a financial nightmare. The Minnesota guys are breathing down his neck for more money and the Hillside project needs more taxpayers money.

Murders are on the rise and unemployment is going up.</p> <p>I am glad that I voted for change, but I didn't know that it was going to set the City back four years.</p> I thought that Flentje was the interim City Manager not a moderator.
