And you know I don't think there is really such a thing as "compassionate conservative." More often than not It's "I don't have anything against you but stay away from me" conservatism. You do play a pretty good Lefty, though. Now I know who to call when I need a stunt double... :) I think it’s a little less clear-cut on the council, but that is how the votes divided over the budget this time.

It is unfair to place the burden of taxes on those least able to pay. How am I doing ?? - doesn't this sound Liberal ???? Next: Let me play "Compassionate Conservative": the poor have enjoyed a free ride for too long. They should pay their own way. The minimum wage went up and most of them said it was OK to raise the fare. Isn't this the perfect Compassionate mantra ???? City Council has 3 Liberals - Deleon, Price, and Jones City Council has 4 Compassionate Conservatives - Miller, Leonard, Gilbreath, and Klein. Lefty,
