I have ideas what each candidate will/can/should do with the left over money. Any ideas from anyone else?

She ought not go around throwing stones like “conservationists are trying to buy a council seat”. That leaves us to make a choice between selling the seat to “conservationists” interested in preserving foothills and wetlands, or to a bunch of fundamentalist wing-nuts I’d be hard pressed to ask for directions to the gas station. Hmmm….she makes the choice seem easy.

Her negative comments about Brandi’s out-of-state” money is a two faced a comment as the best of double speak politicals. Nice try Ms. Jordon.

How did Brandi get arrested for blocking the move of the Ten Commandment Monument?

I did some research today , after reading a letter to the editor of Statesman.
Young Man writes, “How could the monument be from the Cecil B Demille Movie ? The Movie was released in 1956 , and the movie prop arrived to Boise 10 years later?”

The City of Boise, Idaho, also received one of the monuments. Last year, when the city moved its 10 Commandments monument from a city park, the city explained how it came by the monument in the first place:

It was given to the city during the 1960s, one of an estimated 4,000 similar markers donated to communities across the nation by the Fraternal Order of Eagles. According to the Rev. Mark H. Creech, executive director of the Christian Action League of North Carolina, the fraternal organization began distributing the monuments during the 1950s as part of a campaign against juvenile delinquency. A decade later, Creech writes, Cecil B. De Mille got in on the campaign by making his own contribution with the release of “The Ten Commandments” a movie classic featuring Charlton Heston as Moses. De Mille promoted the movie by placing granite slabs of the commandments in parks, state capital lawns, and courthouses around the country.

This is a wonderful compromise for the whole community, Mayor David Bieter said. It removes the potential legal issues and places the monument in a prominent, historical location that will allow better public access than ever before.

Crews began cordoning off the area around the monument about 7 a.m. Monday. City officials formally announced the move at 11 a.m. as part of a prior arrangement with the Keep the Commandments Coalition, which agreed not to physically block removal of the monument if given at least two hours advance notice of the move.

Brandi is the co-director of the Keep the Commandments Coalition a community based organization dedicated to preserving the public display of the Ten Commandments in Julia Davis Park and promoting those values for stronger communities.

If there was a good Compromise and the Coaliton would not block the move, How did Brandi get arrested?
