Does our police, fire and rescue services suffer because Mr. Terpenny wants to have his own swimming pool at the town's expense. Oh by the way, did anyyone realize that one of the town's own employee's lost his life on the aquatic center construction site last year, or maybe it was the year before, on old town construction equipment. - Christianburg Resident Wed, 30 Apr 2008 15:15:02 +0100 http://www.everythingnrv.com/content/view/94437/347/#comment-504 Thank you so much for such excellent and honest coverage. It was nice to see that a Council Member actually admitted real estate taxes are likely to need to be increased (but not in an election year, of course). It was not nice to see that funding is likely to be cut to law enforcement, particularly in body armor. How many officers have to be injured or die before Town Council decides it is better to do too much to protect these officers than too little? And, no road construction? I assume this money would also apply to repairs, building turn lanes, widening roads. Sure sounds like a great idea (NOT). Let's cut all the money we can from public safety. It looks like that Aquatic Center is going to cost citizens a lot in services and safety. Thanks Town Council for a job NOT well done. - Carol LIndstrom Wed, 30 Apr 2008 09:10:21 +0100
