No where in recent history has the unemployment rate beenn close to twenty percent for any community. Thanks selve severing Piephoites ! Your just like Obama. These blood sucking politicians have screwed up the economy, the way of life, the job market, the tax distribution, the housing, the gas prices, and they need to stop gording off of the peoples savings accounts.
Mary Piepho is responsible for all of that? Really? You give her way way too much credit. Some question if she is competent to be a Supervisor and you have her controlling the price of gasoline? I don’t think so. Anyways, get a spell checker and make a real argument instead of emoting.
