The members of this government indicate they do not wish to pursue this debacle and since the new City Manager stated on TV-5, \u201cmove on\u201d. The politician\u2019s\/bureaucrat\u2019s credo is bury their missteps and \u201cmove on\u201d\u2026always leaving the citizens in a monetary lurch. <\/p>\n<p>Regarding the principal proponent of this engagement is Ark. State Senator Jake Files. There apparently, at least not known to the public, has been no movement by Gov. Asa Hutchinson, the State Board of Ethics, or any legal establishment to remove Files from State government for misapplication of public monies, dallying with &#038; exploiting lobbyists, liberties in handling financial instruments, ad infinitum.<br \/>\nUntil the Fort Smith city government answers in some detail one can only conclude that this body is corrupt. Attached to this statement the following questions have been asked 16 times during the past 5 years and can be found on the website arkansasfreedom.net   This government, like all governments, is not a model for transparency; always devolving into a protection racket &#038; much worse.<br \/>\nGovernment is subsuming our national independence\u2014all U.S. governments.<\/p>\n<p>Questions:<br \/>\n1.\tWhy were Republican Ark.

Explain.<\/p>\n<p>4.\tIf the Fed was doing its job (&#038; maybe they are) they would be searching for the elusive Ms. Gonzales &#038; questionable activities &#038; documents and foremost, is she an illegal?<\/p>\n<p>5.\tWhy are the government functionaries so quiet on the above matters? <\/p>\n<p>More \u201cfool\u2019s gold\u201d, in the eyes of incumbents, incumbency is ownership.<\/p>\n<p>Joe McCutchen<br \/>\narkansasfreedom.net  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Incumbency is the toxic weed that is destroying we the people and our native culture\u2014Western Civilization.
