Think It’s Only the Federal Government Who Can’t Be Trusted to Keep Their Word?
Senator Rob Mayer has an oft repeated phrase that goes something like “he showed me the corn but slipped me the cob!”, when he is referring to someone who tells you one thing and then does another. That’s why I believe it is appropriate when discussing the recent actions of the Neosho Mayor and majority of the City Council to relate it to showing the citizens of Neosho the nice ear of corn but then slipping them the cob!

Oh, yeah, I know…
“There You Go Again…” Left Never Changes Anything Except Disguise
