1. Voted to increase the pay, by $7K-$9.3K, of some assistant city managers while refusing to give all city employees a 3% cost of living increase.
2. Refused to give the City of Ralls a flatbed truck we've been letting them use to transport a decontamination trailer that is part of the regional homeland security plan. Why not give them the truck? Because the council realized it's worth $10,000. Real generous.
3. Voting to spend $45.00 apiece for new police officer badges. YAY!
4. Mayor Miller declared Feb. 18, 2007, as a day to begin praying for Lubbock. We're supposed to pray for a whole year for economic prosperity, authenticity in government (whatever that means), rain for crops, and for teenager safety. If you want economic prosperity, try doing something real to attract good jobs to Lubbock. If you want more safety for teenagers, try teaching real sex education in schools instead of that worthless abstinence-only crap that doesn't work. Just sitting and praying about these issues isn't going to do anything. I'm not the most religious person, but I don't think that the concept of God is that you ask for shit and he/she gives it to you. You do have to work for some things in life. Now, rain is another story. Not much you can do about that but pray. In any case, I remember David Miller running for MAYOR, not PRAIRIE POPE.

WTF?
