Citizens, not subjects....

"This group of unelected idiots are upside down in their thinking, their strategies, and worst of all, how they perceive our liberties..."

There they go again! That bunch of fun loving kids who are going to help us live better, love better, and maybe just be better! These kids are awesome (and talented)! They have figured out a way to go from regulating how we flush our toilets, to how we commute and how and where we should live! Soon this unelected, unregulated, and most of all, unnecessary group will tell us what and how much to eat! And who is it? The Metropolitan Council of course!

Now they have their sights set on Andover. Andover, a sleeping little bedroom community just north of the cities. And why Andover? Because the city has been too successful in developing a livable community. Crime is too low. Poverty is too low. Taxes are too low. The quality of life is too high. All these factors make a chef's salad of reasons why Andover must be changed. And it will be up to this group of outlaws called the Met Council to make it happen.

Now forget for a minute that this plan makes no sense. That has everything to do with fixing something which is not broken. The Met Council has proven time and time again they can tinker with things which do not need tinkering with. Yes, they are very good at making things worse and much more expensive.

The Met Council, using nothing but their assumed authority, wants Andover to put in some "mixed" housing. Sorry - need to get rid of the code speak. "Mixed" housing is low income housing. For poor people. Section 8 housing. 

In fact, the Met Council is going to use everyone's tax dollars to hire "counselors" who will assist and promote poor folks from the metro area proper in how to move to Andover. There are however, some very minor problems. First, the good people, the taxpayers, the residents of Andover do not want "mixed" housing here. With Section 8 housing comes crime. Sorry - it is the truth. Next, Andover does not have public transportation. That is right folks. No choo-choo trains, no buses, no nothing. Poor people will just be stuck living in their subsidized housing. Finally, Andover does not have the social services that poor folks need. Sorry - they do not exist here.

It won't be much longer before the Met Council thinks some races are having too many kids. And then, like their role models in Communist China, the number of kids we have will be regulated. And the sex of the kids will be regulated.

Well guess what Met Council? Those of us in the hinterland who come under your "authority" have taken just about enough of your crap. We are not like the minions you control in the bluest part of the Twin Cities. No, the people out here are cut from a different stock. And that stock is called liberty.

You want a fight? You want to come into our backyard and try and control us? Bring it on! Next time we get a real Governor, each and every one of you in the Met Council will be history.
