We the electorate should be ashamed that we send someone such as Chris Wright to deal with such important matters and people.
Isn't this the same person who wanted to tax them in the first place? He is not the right person for this... no pun intended.
Where was Mayor Ward in all of this?
Oh No !!!!!
ESPN was politely asked to pay taxes and they FREAKED OUT !!!!
Now the 'leaders' will grovel before these freaks and beg forgiveness .
It's easy to see why this state is sooooo messed up .
Chris Wright = Fork Tongue!
Gardner...send him to his room without supper.
Chris stay out of it you have no credibility.
I don't understand the hypocrisy - I do actually, it's politics as usual. Chris and his group all voted in favor of this tax. Now, they want to give the taxpayers a show. Behind the scenes where none sees they vote one way and then go and make it look like quite the opposite.
Steve why don 't you chronicle the way these politicians vote and how it affects the Bristol area constituents?
As far as what's fair, I am sure ESPN pays it's fair share and employs lots of local people. I am sue other communities would be glad to have them in their area.
