There is only one reason to abandon the idea of a new library. The people have spoken and they have said no more than once (three times at last count). Some on our city council have not heard your no, so say it louder. You will note that the library was put at the top of the mayor's (Jeff Nesset's) list of "must haves." The fact is that the Nessets and [John] Currins (councilor) of this world could care less that we have consistently voted no on the question of a new library, their plan is to stick it up yours no matter how you voted.
Nesset and Currin are obsessed with a library (perhaps named after them) and the voters be damned. In the past I have asked what part of no they fail to understand; now we know. Like little children, there is no part of no which they understand. Your vote means nothing to these scoundrels. Councilors know what to do with your money, better than you, resulting in increased taxes.
