[Vwdiesel] OT but not offensive?

[Hayden Chasteen]

Yep, they are right up the road from me.  Town has been in uproar for over a 
year.  A developer got control of the town by throwing out Mayor Clark who 
founded the town because he didn't want people in his subdivisions to pay 
city taxes.  First order of business was to unincorporate the town back into 
the county thereby illuminating city taxes.  Everyone in the "town" will now 
get 10 years of free DISH service.  This is not the first time this has 
happened.  Many years ago, a town in New Mexico named Elephant Butte won a 
contest by changing its name to that of a famous game show....Truth or 
Consequences.  Hayden
