Vincennes has raised their trash sticker cost up to as I understand it $1.25 each because I assume that they are faced with a money shortage and as usual they had a couple options one right and one wrong and of course as usual they chose wrong.

Vincennes like Bicknell cannot seem to understand that the higher the cost to live there the fewer people are willing to live there.

They also seem to be spending a lot of unnecessary time worrying about the Executive Inn which makes absolutely no sense; either the property owner has paid the property tax or they haven’t. It would seem that it would be the property owner’s responsibility to worry about homeless moving in illegally over the winter not the cities. All other city action on this subject appears to be some sort of property grab which usually relates directly to some money scheme that does not benefit the people but the politicians.

Of course the higher Vincennes raises its cost of living there and the more they rape their property owners the better it is for Bicknell.

Bicknell, I hope, should have enough sense to not add to the cost of living here as that is what is causing all of the financial problems here. Bicknell must find other cuts to in order to stop the population flow away from our city.

I do expect that Bicknell will follow Vincennes in the trash bag sticker increase.
