***UPDATE***
It was brought to our attention that at the Polk City Workshop meeting held at city hall on Tuesday, August 31st, the Vice Mayor/Acting City Manager - Trudy Block mentioned a previous post from our blog and passed out copies to those in attendance. She stated that although she agreed with some of our points, she felt that some of our information was inaccurate. She warned all in attendance that we may be misleading the public.
Here's a link to the previous post: Original blog post
It is NOT our intention to mislead the public at all. We ourselves are just a group of average citizens, not lawyers, not CPAs, not politicians, trying to make sense of all the mess the city is in and make sure that someone is looking out for the Polk City residents. We feel like former city officials did not have the best interests of the residents in mind when many of their decisions were made. We have the utmost respect for the current city officials who are doing their best to take on the task of cleaning up the mess they inherited. When we don't have the expertise on a topic, we pick up the phone or research it in other ways. If there are inaccuracies in our information, we welcome any corrections to keep us straight.
We have attempted to contact Mrs. Block so we can have her clarify the inaccuracies she feels exist. She has not yet returned our call. If there are inaccuracies in our information, we will make any corrections needed to keep our information as accurate as possible and apologize for any confusion it may cause. This Blog is merely our attempt to educate the public and ourselves on what we have been able research about the dire state of our city and possible solutions to bring financial relief to it's citizens.
