The Kierce family are top notch people and the city should honor them.

It's wonderful to see the community, neighbors, residents and businesses coming together to help this store owner. I wish I could say the same about some of the city councilors, but I cannot.

I think they're pretty much damned if they do and damned if they don't - help out and risk seeming like an opportunist, or don't help out and get called on being callous.

Chris, when I wrote the part in my comment about the city councilors, I had in mind the recent council session where 7 out of 11 city councilors voted YES on the Pit Bull muzzling ordinance, over the vehement objections of the vast majority of residents in attendance in the audience. That's the context I am referring to, as an example of some councilors not in tune and in synch with the desires and wishes of their constituents.
