Yasmine – given the opportunity that availed itself with Mr. Price seated next to me asking a series of questions I felt compelled to throw in my one question without checking to see if anyone tuned could help fine tune my one question.

I began by making note that while the purpose of this workshop was to raise taxes my question might be “off-tropic” [sic], and by the time I was done I felt as if each and every member of the council saw me as some sort of cancer, on the other hand they r all so well tanned and as I said so incredibly good looking it could simply be envy on my part, agree?

I understand that it is just a matter of moments be4 someone answers my question.

Yasmine – I arrived a little late but fortunately I was not the only one, my embarrassment mitigated to a large degree.

Apparently this is a “one of a kind” workshop geared toward “taxing the rap” [sic] out of residents.

The mayor, Richard Earnest is now speaking,

“... We nee to raise revenues... hired a consultant... got together with groups of realtors....”

Now we along with the TV audience, Channel 35 I believe, are now witnessing a PowerPoint presentation.

Since this is my first meeting of such well dressed, incredibly good looking men and women; sitting next to Mr. Price, recently married, someone who I often run into on the beach, his shoes incredibly well polished.

The councilwomen seated around the ark shaped table number 5 and the councilmen number 4 including the mayor who is now standing speaking incredibly eloquently, his navy blazer adorned with 4 medals, the white collar of his blue-white striped shirt held together with a high chroma burgundy tie just ever so slightly wrinkled on the left side which is not to suggest that Richard Earnest will soon begin to suffer horribly from repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel nor should u assume Mr. Earnest is related to Earnest Oppenheimer of The Diamond Invention.

Mr. Dave Druker and Mr. Henry Abarbanel both councilmembers now interjecting giving the medal wearer terrific support.

Mr. Druker now talking, “No one threw tomatoes at us... People can make improvements.”

Just earlier Mayor Earnest had commented, “We never want to be at the top or bottom.... Unfortunately fortunately we do have sand dollars...We have taken the decision to self insure...3 legs of our revenue stool...just treading harder and harder, not able to keep up... thoroughbred racing is now in decline...lost over $1.5 million....”

Yasmine, assuming u r not asleep, perhaps out partying with your laptop alongside could u

Any of the 1500 odd folks copied on this missive representing a statistically valid representative sampling of the world’s literate population help me formulate the right question should I be given an opportunity to speak bearing in mind the profound words of this employee of Annehauser Bush who told me this morning,

“Luck is hard work and opportunity intersecting”.

How does this sound,

Good evening. Please cut me short without hopefully chopping off my legs below the knee if what I propose is old ground. Cutting to the chase have u given consideration to limiting construction of new homes or redevelopment of old ones to one story?

Please get back to ASAP.
