We are a government of, by, and for the people so the only way officials know what the people want is to stand up and be heard.

Or does those only stand pat when discussing issues of tax increases and rate increases ?? If organization gets us in a city that abides by the people, I'm all for it, but I don't want someone to misrepresent anything being what it isn't. :-) So now when people get up and talk on the very same issue, it will be considered an organized effort ?

Several of the people there were acting in an organized manner so I can see where some folks were thinking it was an organized effort. Even if it was, that doesn't change the content of the message that we don't need this increase. Yep.

Yes it is true that some of the speakers are members of the coalition, however we had NO organized effort to talk in front of city council on the city utilities rate increase. Although as a taxpayer advocacy group a rate increase would be one of our top priorities. Members of the MoLiCo are all individuals and we represent our own ideas and speak on behalf of no one or any entity unless otherwise noted. Hope this answers your questions :-)) The truth is that the members of the Missouri Liberty Coalition speak as individuals unless they stated in some response that they are speaking on behalf of the group.

My fiancee is starting a TS business. Hey...while you're here :)...there was some speculation that the group against the increase who spoke in a block were members of your Missouri Liberty Coalition. Any truth to that? Thanks for the props to Tastefully Simple, Tom. My fiancee is starting a TS business.

It is said it is only $3.91 increase which will be added in to every businesses cost of operation and therefore "other" rates will increase as well. Jason, The Tastefully Simple products are quite good, I have a customer who is an independent distributor. I commend those that got up an spoke at city council regarding the rate increase from C.U.
