[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 148647, member: 315"] they do but the only people that run are the long time residents and the only people that vote are the long time residents. you have to understand 99% of these new bodies here never become residents. 75% of the license plates are out of staters. So it's the same old people running and voting so nothing is going to change. We finally had a county commissioner decide not to run again and he has served 35 years. that's assinine. need term limits here. Here is how screwed up and corrupt the whole system is here. You have an owner of a realty firm that is on both the city council and county commission. And to top it all off he is the head of planning and zoning on both. Now how the hell do you get anymore of a conflict of interest than that. And if you look at the things that have happened in P&Z over the past six to eight years it's easy to see who benefited from the things that happened. GST you always think it's as easy as voting in new people. Well you don't have a damn clue how things actually work. That is painfully obvious at the national level if you haven't noticed. A very small percentage of the people control things in many states and is very true in ND. There are too many people that just roll with the status quo because they absolutely don't want change. Hell just look at the pharmaceutical bills that have been introduced. Sunday closings, etc. [/QUOTE]
