Our Intention is NOT to Attack Any Current City Official Personally

It was brought to our attention that some current City Officials felt personally attacked by statements and articles posted here on our blog.  We are not trying to make this a personal issue AT ALL.  If it came across that way, we apologize.  We are simply trying to digest the information we have been gathering and factually relay it to the public.  We want to get the people thinking and talking about what is going on in town, but do not want any of the current City Officials to feel personally targeted.  We know that not long ago before taking their offices, they were average citizens just like us.  They voluntarily stepped up to try and fix the problems of our city.  We applaud their dedication and hard work.  Many members of our group would never dream of taking on a task of that magnitude. 

All our group is trying to say by abolishing the city is that, despite all the hard work and dedication the new City Officials are doing, we are not sure it is a long term battle worth fighting.  When asked what benefits Polk City can provide to it's property owners and residents, compared to what would happen if we defaulted back into Unincorporated Polk County, we are still waiting for strong arguments in favor of keeping the city.  When crunching best guess numbers, the numbers appear to ask the same question.

We have posted a clarification on one blog post in particular that we would like everyone to see that will hopefully clear up any misunderstandings of our intentions. Update to Hot Button Sewer Issue Article
