		<description>It is okay to lose some of the text, your points of payments have hit home. I do like the notion to drop lobbyists. If we have been paying these people this long, what have we received for our money? You are right that we could have sold ourselves as well as they have represented us. If any of the Council Members need a pair, tell them to look me up.</description>
