    Inauguration? Don’t you mean coronation?

    As soon as he takes office the whole bunch of them will start fighting over what money the town has left. The only, repeat ONLY, reason Allen is in office is for his personal gain. He won’t even live in the town he is Mayor of. He thinks he is better than everyone in the town. I will admit he speaks english better than 99% of the town but that don’t make him better. Ferriday has just leaped further down the slippery slope and it will go down faster and faster.

    I don’t see why he won’t just leave things like they are, running smooth…Oh i know why, he is broke and wants money from anywhere he can find it, which is why some concerned citizens are afraid he will try and screw with the water plant and then we won’t have any water at all….And why do people keep voting someone in that didn’t grow up in ferriday and love it and the people in it more than they love themselves?

    reading between the line… seems like the angle will be through that requirement of a third party running the water plant. Create a company with NO experience to replace one that HAS experience and then skim off the top while neglecting the system through incompetence.
