I'm just happy we got the Budget over with. There has been many tough decisions made for our town and for the most part I believe they were the right call. However, i wasn't a fan of the police bill that upgraded all their guns, I thought that was a waste of money. Overall I believe that this town is on the rise and will attract more tourists because of the changes we made.
