People in office that can retire and will draw their retirement and then we the taxpayers pay them some more to keep them in office so they can draw that salary also makes the voters look the other way when they vote. Double-dippiing is crazy when it is the taxpapyer money paying for it. VOTERS THINK ABOUT THAT.

My entire complaint is public record......I think Mr. Archer has grossly underestimated this mesenger! Let's see he has involved his wife seven times with loan repayments that she didn't make,according to him ...now its her fault because she didn't pay his property taxes....Really! WOW! THANK YOU !

This issue was brought up to Sam over a month ago and today he is saying that this is the first he has heard of it. This is a lie. If he is so willing to lie about something that is so easy to verify, how can we hope to trust him on things that are not so easy to prove. There is no doubt what so ever that Sam is lying about this. Today he has been on the radio talking about how he has tried to avoid mudslinging in this campaign, yet he handed out flyers that showed an arrest record for one of the other candidates. Isn't that mudslinging? Are we so used to being lied to that we don't even consider it a character flaw anymore? We have indisputable facts sitting right in front of us. Are we are going to just sit here and shoot the messenger? It is important to run stories about finance because they can give you an idea about how a candidate will conduct themselves in office.
