Kramer?

Hey, I was emoting the Black voters. I thought I had my Ebonics down well enough for that theme to come through, even for you, skinny girl lover. :tothehand:

Apparently, there were not enough Blacks who cared enough to pay to want to be policed properly.

Shocking, really. :lol:
Kramer is on TV and universally known. I don't expect you to know him.

These signatures have a 500 character limit?

What if I have more personalities than that?

It was 57% yes - in most places that would have passed. But Missouri requires 67% yes to pass. Thanks GOP!

Voters approved a new sales tax, which the city has said would generate $1.225 million in annual revenue. It needed a simple majority to pass and received 69 percent.

So is obvious is that more people wanted a sales tax than people who wanted better police coverage.

BETTER COPS? NO WAY, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO STEAL AND LOOT STUFF THAT I VOTED TO HAVE OTHERS TO HAVE TO PAY MORE FOR WITH BETTER COPS AROUND?

Thanks GOP? I doubt you can find a single Republican in Ferguson or anywhere in north St. Louis County.

Well, they did approve sales tax increases with ~70% of the vote.

Something tells me that if I started a thread titled 'Ferguson voters vote for tax hike to fund police changes' y'all probably would have found that a bit misleading. :coffee:
