Hello,
I found your articles on Mr Portash quite informative.
Your poll is also very interesting.
I believe, as so many others do that we have not learned much of a lesson from the Portash scandle.
We still have corruption going on.
While I dont feel it is to the degree of the Portash administration, one has only to look into what goes on in our own back yard to see that something is not right.
i only hope and pray that the residents of this community wake up and smell the coffee!!

Yes, it made me aware of the whole mess. I moved here just when Jane Cameron took over and the loss of revenues made it difficult for her, but she did a fantastic job. And, I believe, a completely honest one.
